Aviation’s Fastest Growing Sector Will Have Its Own Dedicated Showcase At The Event
For the first time, Australia's premier aerospace event will feature the latest from the world of UAV's. Experts from more than twenty companies involved in the manufacture, selling, financing and insuring of drones will be on hand to explain the latest technologies and applications of remotely piloted aircraft.
Once solely a military tool, drones are now employed by a wide range of emergency service and commercial users and private enthusiasts.
Real estate photography, agriculture traffic management, search and rescue operations, surveillance and disaster assessment are among the many uses for the modern, light weight RPAs.
Drones of all types and specifications will be on display at the Drone Showcase in the DroneZone Down Under area at AIRSHOW 2017. This dedicated space will include a live drone demonstration area, an exhibition hall for manufacturers and resellers, and theatrettes with expert presentations.
It will be situated in the special drone display area to the east of the main runway and north of the exhibition pavilions. Drone usage at the Airshow will be in accordance with strict safety parameters.
As well as the demonstrations and displays the Australian Association of Unmanned Systems (AAUS) will also host a major conference on drone usage and implications at the Avalon-based event.
The Australian International Airshow 2017 will be staged at Avalon Airport between the 28 February and 5 March. The Drone Showcase will be open on the public March 3-5.
