The most discussable topics were drones and innovation, safety, and, of course, sports. The speakers from over 30 countries, as well as Max Polyakov’s EOS and Noosphere, had the opportunity to make presentations and report on anti-collision techniques, logistics, near-earth observation, education, and using drones in different kinds of sports.

One of the most popular speakers, Vladimir Vasiliev from EOS, emphasized the exceptional role of civilian drones and their usage in near-earth imaging. Vasiliev is an experienced professional, who has worked with imaging technologies at EOS, founded by Max Polyakov in early 2016.

According to Frits Brink, FAI President, the governmental structures are currently taking steps forwards, developing laws on the safe usage of drones and making them a common vehicles in air traffic.
