The project, which will take several years to complete, will facilitate the introduction of future passenger aircraft and other advanced air mobility solutions. ANRA Technologies can play a leading role in related projects. The company will carry out the related testing and development in the FlyOhio cooperation. This is a programme led by DriveOhio’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) group, involving public, private and academic institutions.

Humans have always learned a lot from animals, and AI probably has a lot to learn from them too. For example, drones could save a lot of energy if they could harness the upward air currents that birds have in their “little fingers”. This is exactly what the MTA-ELTE Research Group on Airborne Group Behaviour is doing: using the latest technologies to study the mechanisms of collective behaviour in animals, and then trying to incorporate the knowledge gained into even more modern technologies.
