the #sandbox looking to the sky” took place on November 24th and 25th. This event was the first congress of its kind held in #Spain, where the president of CAAC, José Luis García, attended representing our Cluster. He shared firsthand with all attendees the possibilities offered by our territory, both as a testing zone for unmanned aerial vehicles and to delve into all the advances being made in this field in our country.
On Thursday, February 17th, José Luis García, President of CAAC, was interviewed by Nayra Santana on the news program of TVE in the Canary Islands.
During the interview, reference was made to the field of aerial robotics, a sector experiencing rapid growth, and the geographical and climatic suitability of the island.
“Canarias has something that no one else has, an extraordinary climate and a perfect Atlantic Ocean to carry out all the tests of these devices.”
We are deeply grateful for this honor, which we received on Monday, November 8th, on the island of Lanzarote, as part of the Commemorative Events for the 50th Anniversary of Squadron of Aerial Surveillance No. 22. Alongside us, one of the companies associated with the Cluster, Singular Aircraft, also received this distinguished mention.
In the image on the right, we can see the commemorative plaque, which we cherish with great pride. Additionally, in the video below, you can witness the awe-inspiring flight of two of the PAPEA (Aerial Parachute Acrobatics Patrol of the Spanish Air Force) performing a spectacular maneuver with our flags.
0-G Launch, an innovative provider based in Washington DC of the microgravity service aircraft and airborne rocket launch Space Jet™, and the Aeronautical and Aerospace Cluster of the Canary Islands (CAAC), an international center of excellence dedicated to promoting companies in the aeronautical-aerospace sector in the archipelago, have announced today the signing of an agreement to initiate zero-gravity parabolic flights from the islands in 2023.
