As part of the SESAR Joint Undertaking Digital Sky Demonstration project U-ELCOME, a major step forward for UAV operations in European airspace took place on April 11, 2025, at Gorizia Airport, Italy.
The Pipistrel Nuuva V300—a hybrid-electric, long-range VTOL cargo drone—was successfully demonstrated, showcasing essential U-Space services such as:
✔️ Digital flight plan submission
✔️ Activation & deactivation
✔️ Network e-identification
These capabilities are crucial for the safe and scalable integration of drones into European skies. The demonstration was made possible through the collaboration between Pipistrel Aircraft, Honeywell GCS, ENAV, and D-Flight.
