A project investigating the safety and commercial viability of drone flight has secured a share of almost £70m to continue developing new aviation technology.
Tech firm Zenotech, which has offices in Bristol and Chepstow, and Aylesbury-based aerospace component manufacturer Flare Bright founded the ‘SafeZone’ initiative to develop safer unmanned drones for use in urban spaces.
The idea is to help ease congestion, improve sustainability and develop emergency services’ capabilities, according to the firms.
