’We should take the lead in this industry’

The test centre for drone and sensor applications Unmanned Valley will get access to a drone-corridor to sea, right over the dunes near Katwijk. This new flight path goes from former air force base Valkenburg (South-Holland) to the North Sea and has just opened. Bart Remes, project manager and researcher at The Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory (MAVlab), which is part of the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the TU Delft, is very pleased with the new test facility. "We have been able to perform our first test flight through this corridor with our AED-drone. We can now safely experiment with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Next to this, we can now fly at sea but also from Valkenburg towards the sea." - Why is this corridor necessary? . "The sea will play a more and more important role in making the energy industry more sustainable.
