BULATSA participated in a Visitors’ Day for GRADE Project flight tests

BULATSA participated in a Visitors’ Day for GRADE Project flight tests, which took place in the Headquarters of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), in Brunswick, Germany.
The purpose of the simulations was to prove the applicability of SESAR solutions #51, #55, #103 and #113 for General Aviation and Rotorcraft. The tests included joint flights of a small Cessna airplane and an EC135 helicopter on different routes with approaching trajectories below the safe minimum.
The aircraft were equipped with specially developed technologies by DLR and the Technical University of Brunswick (TUBS) to enable the safe conduct of such flights. Both types of interfaces were shown as well as records of tests already performed.
According to the GRADE project plan, another series of flight tests will be held in October 2019 at the Italian Aerospace Research Center (CIRA) in Capua, Italy.
GRADE is a pan-European project that aims to demonstrate the ability of General Aviation and Rotorcraft to use SESAR concepts to integrate into airspace and airports.
BULATSA participates in the project together with the Italian Aerospace Research Center CIRA – project coordinator, the German Center for Aeronautical and Space Research DLR (German Aerospace Center), the ANSP of Malta – MATS (Malta Air Traffic Services), the Italian technology company NAIS (Nextant Applications & Innovative Solution Srl), the Technical University of Brunswick – TUBS and UPTH University (Parthenope University of Naples) in Naples.
