Flytrex, Wing Implement Commercial Strategic Flight Coordination in Overlapping Airspace in the U.S.
Flytrex and Wing have each implemented the Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) Strategic Coordination standard in the United States with a first-of-its-kind application into daily flight operations near Dallas, Texas. The work is part of a broader industry-FAA collaboration establishing the foundations for a national UTM ecosystem. The two drone delivery companies are first among several drone operators to further integrate into the airspace by automating the separation of commercial drone flights in low-altitude shared airspace.
