The Challenge
The goal was to establish the necessary airspace conditions for the operation of Small, MALE, or HAPS UAS at Canarias Stratoport, located near Fuerteventura Airport.
Our Solution
We defined two airspace volumes — one surrounding the Stratoport and another serving as the flight and climb/descent area for HAPS — both compatible with conventional aviation visual and instrument flight procedures. We also developed a network of corridors connecting both volumes, enabling various mission types.
Benefits
Increased operational safety while expanding the infrastructure’s capacity in both the number and type of operations.
