Drone technology has been part of our lives for several years...
however, for most people its use is largely limited to delivery services, photography and recreational or lifestyle applications.
Over the next 12 to 24 months, Australia’s aviation landscape is expected to change significantly with the introduction of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), transforming not only the types and design of aircraft, but also services (including emergency services), industries and public transport.
Recognising the significance and opportunities of AAM, Latrobe City established the Latrobe Aerospace Technology Precinct (the Precinct), a national Centre of Excellence and Australia’s first integrated location for AAM research, development, and test and evaluation. In addition, the Precinct will integrate renewable energy generation and storage solutions to support zero-emissions operations and demonstrate end-to-end sustainable aviation systems.
First location in Australia where industry can undertake research and development, as well as test and evaluation to support commercialisation and work towards aircraft certification
Over 4,000 hectares for test and evaluation across low density areas
Advanced Air Mobility technologies are set to become reality this decade, creating demand for new ground infrastructure and sustainable power systems to support next generation aircraft.
