XTI Aerospace Expands Drone Platform with Antigravity A1

For the establishment of fully automated industrial drone operations, seamless technical visibility of all air traffic participants is crucial. Therefore, both security authorities and airspace users require technical visibility and identification of all aircraft in the lower airspace. So, the safest and most sustainable path forward is universal electronic conspicuity. But does universal necessarily mean identical? This is what Vladimír Foltín (EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and Ralph Schepp (Droniq GmbH) discuss in our townhall debate on "Airspace Awareness: Is the Mandatory Use of ADS-L the Key Enabler for Safe and Efficient Commercial UAS Operations on Scale?" This session is hosted by Claus Cordes (Deutscher Aero Club e.V.).

𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. Commercially operated UAS can make our everyday lives more efficient, sustainable, and safer in a variety of ways. Furthermore, a growing industry promises enormous potential for jobs and tax revenue. For cities and municipalities, an active drone policy therefore offers tremendous socio-economic potential. But how can successful cluster development and economic promotion be achieved? What framework conditions need to be created, and what support measures are sensible and effective for all involved? Xavier Bourguignat will address this and other topics in his presentation "Create the market: Why regions and towns should actively support the UAS community, and how they could do it efficiently" at the EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM 2026. Xavier Bourguignat, a senior expert in the aeronautics and drones sectors, serves as Executive Director for the UAS domain in the French Aerospace Valley cluster. Its goal is to contribute to the economic success and influence of the “Grand Sud-Ouest”, "Occitanie", and to the sovereignty of France and Europe. Xavier Bourguignat's mission is to advance, through innovation, a spectrum of technological and industrial excellence in line with the goals of European and local authorities.

#Europe is more than #Germany and #France. The EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM connects the full drone economy across the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency ecosystem. All Member States matter. Innovation comes from all regions. Often unexpected. Alignment matters. Germany and France create scale. They provide direction. They enable momentum. Inclusion and leadership must go together. Proud to have Aerospace Valley as partner. Strong contribution on stage by Xavier Bourguignat Building a European drone economy.

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁. The potential of unmanned aerial systems for society, the economy, and national security is massive. But Europe can only truly harness it if UAS actually take to the air. And not just occasionally, but daily. On a large scale. But why is Europe in danger of falling behind other regions of the world on this issue? And above all: What do we need to do better? This is what Jukka Savo (DG MOVE, EU Commission) and Dannick Riteco (Drone Alliance Europe, SORA Consulting) discuss in our townhall debate on "Think Big: How to Get 100.000 UAS Operations per Day in the EU Done".

Four key forces. One common goal. To unlock the full potential of drones we must enable their deployment. What is required: Financial strength to invest Industrial capacity to build systems Regulatory access to airspace Professional operators delivering reliable services Transparency in the market to stimulate demand Wing, Drone Alliance Europe, UAV DACH - Association for Unmanned Aviation and the European Commission represent several of these elements. Strong potential on stage Meaningful discussion expected The key questions remain. Can we align on priorities? What is the timeline? What still holds progress back? I look forward to the discussion and hope to see many of you there to hear the answers first hand.

At the EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM, Dannick Riteco (Unifly Consulting, formerly SORA Consulting) and Jukka Savo (DG MOVE, EU Commission) will explore what it takes to reach 100,000 UAS operations per day in the EU and what still needs to be solved to get there. From regulatory evolution to operational scalability, these are the conversations shaping the future of U-space. 📅 24 March 2026 📍 Düsseldorf, Germany If you're attending #XPONENTIALEurope, don’t miss this important discussion. #UAS #Unifly #UniflyConsulting #Drone #Europe

𝗗𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲? Establishing a sustainable foundation for a prosperous industry is a long-term challenge. The more important it is to start preparations on time. In unmanned aviation, we often focus on specific technical systems and solutions to individual problems. That's important, for sure. But aside from that, there's a lot of grassroots work to be done. Now. This is what Amit Ganjoo (ANRA Technologies) and Daan Dousi (EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency) address in our townhall debate on "Shaping a Sustainable Foundation: What Does It Take to Create the Future of Drones in Europe?" This wrap-up session at the end of EDF26 is hosted by Oliver Gregor Lichtenstein (UAV DACH - Association for Unmanned Aviation).

It's crucial that regulatory bodies and the drone economy meet to discuss and identify the best ways to establish a strong UAS Industry in Europe. We're grateful for a specifically strong participation of EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency representatives on both the EDF stage and in the audience this year.  

Just a quick sneak peek from today's technical dress rehearsal. We can't wait to welcome regulators, manufacturers, and operators from all over Europe and beyond to discuss the future of our industry. Let's discuss how to overcome the remaining obstacles to commercial UAS operations in Europe. Let's discover how to shape the best possible framework for our industry. Let's think big together. We can't wait for tomorrow and the Joint opening of XPONENTIAL Europe and the largest EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM so far. The EUROPEAN DRONE FORUM is organized by UAV DACH - Association for Unmanned Aviation and will take place on 24 March 2026 in Düsseldorf as part of XPONENTIAL Europe.

FPV drones are high-performance small unmanned aerial vehicles controlled via a first-person view. They feature strong power, high maneuverability, compact size and high modifiability, emphasizing immersive manual control and excelling at high-speed flight and complex stunts in confined spaces. They are widely used in drone racing, aerial cinematography, industrial inspection, emergency search and rescue, and other fields. Evolving from a niche hobby to a professional category with strong growth momentum in the low-altitude economy, FPV drones have expanding market potential with the commercialization of racing events, wider industrial adoption and rising consumer demand. #FPV #FPVDrone #DroneRacing #UAV #DroneTechnology #AerialCinematography #IndustrialDrone #LowAltitudeEconomy
