Pre-trials were executed at Aalto University on Friday 20 August 2021 as part of 5GDrones project . Involved 5G!Drones partners validated use cases with 5G flights including scenarios where the remote pilot (not the PIC) takes over the control and pilots the aircraft with a tethered joystick. The pilot used the video stream from the aircraft’s onboard camera, streamed over 5G network. Read more “5G!Drones pre-trials at Aalto University”
