Informative

With the help of David Owens, our chief drone pilot, we recently talked about drone laws in the UK. David offered so much interesting information that it was hard to fit it into one article, so, having examined the laws, we’re going to look more at the operation and applications of drones today.

As part of our work at Harwell, we’re building a drone corridor with the help of the European Space Agency. What is a drone corridor, though, and what are the laws and restrictions involved in creating one? In this post, we’re going to dig into some of the legal and safety issues of commercial drone operation.

It’s worth giving some thought to the routes we take when we’re driving. Navigation systems will usually recommend the quickest route to your destination, and you might expect the quickest route to produce the least carbon dioxide. After all, if you’re on the road for less time, aren’t you using less fuel?

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Joining a start-up innovation project, I was well aware I would need to roll up my sleeves and have the initiative to work on whatever challenges would appear. This goes well with my personality and, if anything, made the role even more attractive.

However, little did I know that I would come across the opportunity to propose relevant innovation and to actually protect such innovation via a patent application.

Preparing a patent application is an exhilarating experience, especially if you have never gone through this process before.
