From concepts to operations
We are involved in a variety of R&D and real application initiatives.
PLEAMMAR
Funded by Ports 4.0 (Puertos del Estado. Spain) Categpry: “ideas”. The objective is to perform a feasibility study for the use of HAPS in maritime applications. The project includes a demonstration flight in the port of Sagunto (Valencia, Spain) with the s-blimp D’ICARO.
