Under the initiative, the U.K. is committing 200 million pounds to manufacture drones, making it Ukraine’s largest drone supplier.

Zipline plans to expand to the U.K., while Wing was approved for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights without visual observers.

The Global Combat Air Program aims to have the next-gen, supersonic fighter jet operational by 2035.

The RAF will evaluate ground testing of satellite links and taxi procedures, as well as takeoff and landing procedures.

The long-endurance uncrewed aerial vehicle is expected to enter into service next year, bringing with it ‘a step change’ in service capability, the RAF says.

The service will initially operate for three months but is expected to become the country’s first permanent drone delivery operation.

The test flight is a step forward towards hydrogen-powered commercial flights, ZeroAvia said.

The academy offers two pathways, plus a means by which it will make its operations ‘more efficient.’

ZeroAvia will obtain an STC for the Grand Caravan turboprop and its ZA600 zero-emission powertrain.

With the first flight just a few weeks ago, the ultralong-range jet adds an international flight to the test program.
