✈BASED ON 250+ TEST FLIGHTS AT PAYERNE AIRPORT
Discover the operational, regulatory and logistical foundations every team should address before the first flight.
What you’ll learn before planning your next test campaign
Based on more than 250 test flights at Payerne Airport, this white paper looks at the shortage of flight-test airspace and infrastructure holding back Swiss drone, hydrogen, electric-aviation and e-mobility programmes, and at what a test campaign that works really requires.
Switzerland has the engineers, the universities and the capital to lead in new aviation technologies, but too little airspace and ground to test them.
Lessons from more than 250 test flights at Payerne: what every team should settle before the first flight.
Discover how testing constraints affect costs, timelines, jobs, intellectual property and the technical know-how developed by your team.
swiss aeropole and Payerne Airport provide a complete flight-test environment: a 2.8 km runway, controlled airspace, hangars and on-site expertise.
swiss aeropole is an aviation and aerospace technology park located at Payerne Airport, Switzerland. It supports drone manufacturers, operators and R&D teams in preparing and conducting flight-test campaigns within a controlled operational environment.
The recommendations in this white paper are based on the experience gained from more than 250 test flights and close coordination with Payerne Airport, Skyguide, military stakeholders and technical partners.
This white paper is not based on theory alone. It brings together the practical lessons learned while supporting real flight-test campaigns.
