Air Mobility
Aviation has a great opportunity to catalyse high quality connectivity within and between places – whether physical, digital, or social – and to be a vital enabler of productivity and economic success
Emerging aviation technology sparks innovative solutions that are cheaper, greener, and available to all.
Initiatives 2024
Digital Aviation
The introduction of integrated IoT, AI, cloud-based, data analytical digital technology will revolutionise the aviation industry making it more sustainable, passenger-friendly, safer, cost-effective, and efficient.
Initiatives 2024
Passenger Experience
How to optimise the experience of all airport users is an on-going challenge.
We explore how stakeholders across the ecosystem can collaborate to improve the airport experience for all passengers.
The art of taking flight
Deaf travellers are helping to shape trials of new accessibility technology at Glasgow Airport, in partnership with Connected Places Catapult.
As part of the Future of Flight Phase III Challenge, the Intelligent Drones for Ports and Highways (InDePTH) consortium envision a future where the deployment of intelligent drones may be used to support a wide range of inspection and maintenance tasks around national critical infrastructures.
