The aim of the CITY-ATM project is to devise a concept for managing and controlling air traffic, including new aviation participants such as unmanned aircraft and air taxis in the uncontrolled airspace.

Drones4Good

Cochstedt regularly runs the large-scale FT system superARTIS. We have scheduled test flights for the Drones4Good project in the autumn, for example.

 

Project Falcon

In the Falcon project, we use two large aircraft UAS (35 kg size classes) to practice in-flight docking operations using a controlled docking device. The purpose of the project is to test its value to collecting rocket stages re-entering the atmosphere.
