The Di-PEGASUS project consortium recently held its General Assembly meeting at CERTH in Thessaloniki, Greece, marking a significant step forward in driving innovation for the urban air mobility sector.

“The first meeting of the Di-Pegasus Consortium in Thessaloniki was very productive and served to set the way forward to ensure that the project will deliver high-level innovations to benefit the aviation industry” – stated Marco Ducci, Coordinator of the Di-PEGASUS Project and representative of EUROUSC – “I am honored to be the coordinator of such a great group of experts, and I am confident in the success of the project“.

The two-day General Assembly fostered a collaborative environment, with representatives from all partner organizations actively discussing their contributions and future plans.

Key areas of focus included:

∙ Alignment with ongoing U-space developments in Europe
∙ Facilitating collaboration on Use Case workshops
∙ Establishing a communication and dissemination strategy to increase project visibility

Engaging discussions were centered on the technical requirements for developing new technologies, as identified by stakeholders.

These crucial insights will serve as the foundation for advancements spearheaded by WP2 – Aircraft and Airspace digital technologies – and WP3 – Digital innovative ground maintenance technologies.

The consortium also held an interactive workshop to define the action plan for the three Use Cases:

∙ Environmentally sustainable transport solutions at water airports in Ionian Islands
∙ Delivery of goods through drones and swarms
∙ Paris Region AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) Alliance.

This workshop provided a valuable platform for all partners to share their expertise and work collaboratively toward a common goal.

The Di-PEGASUS project team is energized by the productive meeting and remains committed to achieving its ambitious goal to develop groundbreaking technologies that will shape up the future of European Aviation.
