Project Skyway is an initiative funded by Innovate UK which seeks to create the UK's first "drone superhighway." This would allow drones to fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) in a controlled and regulated way, something that isn't currently possible. To do this, a group of organisations with expertise in aviation are working together to develop and test the superhighway. This includes experts in drones, air traffic management and communications. This project is a proof of concept. It is working to deploy the technology, conduct trial flights in Autumn 2023, and submit data for review by the Civil Aviation Authority. The project ends in July 2024. The Catapult are leading on stakeholder engagement as part of Project Skyway. As part of their work, they would like to better understand the demand for Skyway by interviewing potential customers of the superhighway.
