Forum 360: Diversity and Inclusion in Next-Generation Airspace 6 August 2021 1400 - 1515
While we currently have well-established safe legacy models for airspace, that model won’t scale to all of the new operations. To achieve integrated airspace, we must overcome significant challenges, including enabling operations to share data using the cloud; partitioning the sky to have fair, efficient operations for new and old aircraft; expense; and regulations. Perhaps the largest challenges of all are community input, acceptance, and support. Join us as we examine the issues and solutions in next-generation airspace.
