The ELEKTRA TRAINER D-MYET landed at Oldenburg-Hatten airfield today in bright sunshine. Pilot Uwe Nortmann is flying to 7 different airfields as part of the e-Flight Challenge. The D-MYET took off from Memmingerberg on Tuesday and made a stopover on the island of Norderney tonight.

After an early flight over the coast of northern Germany, the D-MYET arrived at Oldenburg-Hatten airfield at around 10:30 am. After a short break to recharge the all-electric aircraft, the journey continues.

The e-Flight Challenge 2023 will take place today at Hannover Langenhagen airfield, with the first entry of an electric aircraft. Further information can be found in the live ticker.

VUL market study 2023

The Association for Unmanned Aviation (VUL) recently completed its Market Study 2023. This study takes place every two years and presents the current trends and developments in the international and national drone, air cab and drone detection and defense market.

VUL market study 2023

Result of the 2023 market study

This year's 2023 market study found outstanding development in the German drone market. Of the more than 400,000 drones that were active in Germany in 2023, around 359,000 drones could be attributed to private use. Although the commercial share was only 15 percent, this should not be underestimated, as the forecasts up to 2030 are promising. The proportion of drones used commercially has risen by 197% to over 56,000 over the past three years.

In addition, investments in drone companies have risen sharply in recent years. In the past 10 years, around 124 million euros have been spent on drone companies. However, the 2023 market study clearly shows that around 93 percent of this sum was invested in 2021 and 2022. However, these companies include not only large companies, but also SMEs with an average of 20 employees and a company age of 8 years. This puts Germany in 4th place in the commercial drone market behind China, the USA and Japan.

Although the German commercial drone market is valued at 893 million euros and the private market at 62 million euros, this puts Germany in the upper midfield in a global comparison. In addition, according to the 2023 market study, Germany only ranks 18th in the global comparison in the market size per employee category. This is slightly behind the leaders Norway and Switzerland, but the forecast for the German drone market is extremely promising. In the drone detection and defense market, which acts as a protective measure against potentially dangerous aircraft, German companies received 13% of the 215 million euros invested worldwide in 2022.

Forecast 2030

The VUL expects demand for drones for commercial use to increase in 2030. In addition, the German drone market is expected to almost double to 1.7 billion euros. The earliest increase is expected to occur in the German air taxi market. The value is expected to increase from 16.6 million euros to over 167 million euros within the next 7 years. Furthermore, the first air cabs, i.e. for both passengers and freight, are expected to be available as early as 2024.

Lower Saxony Aviation Day 2023 - b.r.m. is part of it

It will soon be time again. This year's Niedersachsen Aviation Day 2023 will take place on 07.09.2023 in Hildesheim.

General information on Niedersachsen Aviation Day

The state of Lower Saxony is not only regarded as an innovative location for aerospace, but also as a location with a particularly strong corporate landscape in the field of general aviation. An annual specialist event is held to present the results of research and development in the aerospace industry. At this event, you can expect specialist presentations, exhibitions accompanied by specialist personnel and flights on the airfield. Whether manned or unmanned aviation, the latest events and findings are always presented at this event. b.r.m. IT & Aerospace will be exhibiting the Saber research drone from partner company Optoprecision GmbH and talking to you about its construction, use and test results.

Unmanned aviation - Pioneer b.r.m. IT & Aerospace

A lot has happened in unmanned aviation since the last Lower Saxony Aviation Day in 2019. A number of legal framework conditions for drone operations have been extensively discussed and ultimately drafted in the EU drone regulations, among other things. In addition, the integration of unmanned aviation into manned aviation should run smoothly. For this reason, many studies have been carried out to test drones with standardized technology. B.r.m. IT & Aerospace will take part in this year's Lower Saxony Aviation Day 2023 and report on its successes together with its partners, such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials (IFAM). IFAM will also be working with b.r.m. IT & Aerospace on the new U-Space NW project idea.

U-Space - the European UTM approach

The USSP uses various safety systems to integrate drones into manned air traffic, including the UTM, which makes this task much easier.

U-Space - the European UTM approach

What is U-Space?

U-space is the airspace element for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This will be incorporated into the existing airspace, which was predominantly used by manned aircraft. To ensure that this integration runs smoothly and sustainably, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) requires important safety and coordination posts. One of these is the U-Space Service Provider (USSP), which supports the UAS operator and provides remote pilots with information regardless of the operating mode (VLOS, EVLOS and BVLOS). The USSP is therefore part of the European UTM concept - called "U-Space".

What is a UTM?

Unmanned Traffic Management, or UTM for short, is a safety system designed to automatically regulate and simplify drone traffic. According to the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL), this will create a long-term drone ecosystem in Europe that will also facilitate the integration of unmanned into manned air traffic. The UTM identifies drones, e.g. by means of remote ID, and supports the creation of flight plans, which the remote pilot forwards to the USSP. The Unmanned Traffic Management also warns of special airspace elements, such as no-fly zones, which lie on the flight routes of the respective drones. The display of the air situation picture is also part of the range of tasks.

Advantage for integration of BVLOS/VLOS in manned aviation

The UTM is an extension of Air Traffic Management (ATM), which is already used in manned aviation. It facilitates and accelerates the organization of unmanned air traffic. Furthermore, automatic detection is independent of the operating mode so that the exchange of information is not slowed down or disrupted. The combination of the advantages of the latest rules for ATM and the UTM thus ensures the integration of unmanned air traffic into manned air traffic. As a result, drone flights will become routine in the future and at the same time participate in manned air traffic.
