Hopes For 'Positive Results' With Drone Work On Isle Of Wight
By Louise Hill, LDR Reporter
Work is continuing on the scheme to use drones to supply medicines to the Isle of Wight.
Funded by the Department of Transport, and part of Solent Transport’s Future Transport Zone (FTZ), a £8 million programme has been started to see if transporting items by drones could be rolled out further in the future.
In May last year, in response to the Covid pandemic, a successful trial took place to transport medical supplies and PPE to the Island from Southampton, via a drone designed by the University of Southampton.
