Skyports, the world-leading designer, developer, and operator of vertiports (landing sites for eVTOL aircraft) is developing Europe’s first test vertiport in France, as a significant step towards launching commercial Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) services in time for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The programme is part of the Re.Invent Air Mobility initiative led by French airport operator Groupe ADP, global mobility company RATP Group and Choose Paris Region, a French agency for business and innovation.
This is the first development of its kind in Europe and is being supported by DGAC, the French Civil Aviation Authority and EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
The vertiport will be designed, built, and operated by Skyports at Groupe ADP’sCergy-Pontoise Airfield in Paris, initially serving as a technology testbed to provide a safe and realistic environment for Skyports and members of the initiative to integrate and test the critical technologies required to enable AAM in Europe.
The integration of a vertiport within an existing airport site is challenging and complex. Skyports’ expertise in ground infrastructure and Groupe ADP’s remit in infrastructure planning, provision and permitting are an ideal partnership to implement the solution that will successfully address this challenge.
Augustin de Romanet, Aéroports de Paris SA – Groupe ADP Chairman and CEO said: “Our Pontoise airfield brings together a unique ecosystem around new air mobility and the trial platform we are launching today is unprecedented in Europe. It will function as a concrete experiment to explore the field of possibilities of a decarbonised and innovative aviation, and to develop the low altitude aviation market (below 300 metres), which has been largely unexplored until now. In Pontoise, we will test all the components of Urban Air Mobility. Groupe ADP will fully play its role as an aggregator of activities to facilitate the surge of new uses that reconcile a smaller environmental footprint, innovation and common utility.”
The test vertiport will be equipped with a suite of technologies including biometric identity management, re-charging equipment, situational awareness capabilities and weather stations. The data collected during the testing phase will be essential for the development of AAM regulatory frameworks.
Ankit Dass, Chief Technology Officer at Skyports said: “Technology will play a critical role in ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of vertiports. The integration of technology is at the core of our vertiport design, development and operation. At Skyports we are developing our systems in collaboration with vehicle manufacturers, operators and leading aviation tech companies.”
The operational testbed will be used by leading eVTOL vehicle manufacturers such as Volocopter, Vertical Aerospace, Airbus, Pipistrel, eHang and others to conduct test flights and demonstrations over the next three years in the run-up to the 2024 Olympics.
The Skyports vertiport will be constructed using modular technology so that it can easily be relocated to a new location at the end of the programme, serving as the first commercial vertiport in France.
Tesco Ireland has partnered with food sharing app OLIO to help reduce food waste in stores in Dublin by redistributing more of its perfectly edible surplus at the end of each day amongst members of the local community.
The pilot programme involves nine Dublin stores, with 250 volunteers already signed up to OLIO in Ireland.
A global initiative, the OLIO scheme works with over 35,000 volunteer ‘Food Waste Heroes’, who visit stores to collect surplus food nearing its best before or use-by date and redistribute it to the local community. Tesco is the first major Irish grocery retailer to join the movement.
The new partnership builds on Tesco’s existing surplus food donations programme, powered by FoodCloud. OLIO will operate where food related charitable organisations are unable to collect.
Tackling food waste has been a major part of Tesco’s sustainability strategy since 2009, when it made a commitment to stop sending food waste to landfill. To date, the equivalent of over 14 million meals in surplus food has been donated to almost 400 charitable organisations and community groups from Tesco stores and distribution centres, in Ireland.
The existing in-store food surplus programme will continue to benefit FoodCloud causes. However, in some areas, there are limited charitable organisations to take food surplus. This new partnership, where OLIO Food Waste Heroes will come to the rescue and collect surplus food, will help to further reduce the amount of food going to waste. The partnership comes a month from Christmas, when causes and communities groups are even more in need of support through surplus food.
Tesco Communications Director, Rosemary Garth said: “We are very proud of our pioneering food waste strategy, leading the way since 2014 when we became the first retailer to partner nationally with FoodCloud to roll out an innovative surplus donations programme which now helps hundreds of community groups every week.
“We are acutely aware that food waste is a major contributing factor to climate change, and in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 12.3, we are committed to tackling food waste from farm to fork by 2030.
“We want to make sure that all surplus food is being managed, that it shouldn’t go to waste and where people who need it have access to it. I am confident that our partnership with the OLIO movement will help us further achieve our goal of making sure that no good food goes to waste at Tesco.”
OLIO Co-founder, Tessa Clarke said: “Our partnership with Tesco means that more people than ever before will be able to benefit from access to surplus food, and we are happy to expand our programme into Ireland.
“They will also be joining our community of neighbours who not only support one another, but also believe that every little bit helps in the fight against food waste.”
With two weeks of the trial underway, the work with OLIO and its Food Waste Heroes has resulted in an average 46% increase in suitable edible surplus food being redistributed in the Dublin area.
Tesco Ireland, through its partnership with FoodCloud, works with almost 400 charity partners and has donated over 14.5 million meals to people in need since 2014, saving 19.5 million kilograms of carbon emissions from being produced through the transport and processing of this food as waste.
OLIO recruit local teams of Food Waste Heroes, who are then trained on safe collection, storage & distribution of surplus food. The Food Waste Hero collects surplus food from their local Tesco stores at a scheduled time. The food is brought to the Food Waste Heroes’ home, where it is offered to the local community via theOLIO app.
Stores involved in the OLIO trial are: Aungier St, College Green, Leonard’s Corner, Parnell St, Pearse St, Temple Bar, Thomas St, Dorset St, and Jervis St.
There are many ways to spend your time doing nothing. But some things that constantly distract us from doing nothing. It’s either preparing for the next exam, doing some late-night homework, or writing some essay or research paper. All that while trying to have some sleep.
Most likely, you wanted to take a trip or go to some party, but that seems to be possible only during the next spring or summer break. In the meanwhile, you need to focus on easier ways to relax.Yet, you can win some time with ‘do my homework online’ services and free yourself from the paperwork.
Now, think about how to relax your mind. The best thing is to install a gaming or dating app. Maybe, you will match with someone. Maybe, you will have a new interesting game to play.
But, while installing it and giving the application all the required permissions, a question pop-ups. Why do mobile apps need so many permissions? This question bugs a lot of smartphone users and makes others indulge in conspiracy theories.
So, to make it easier, let’s talk about why apps need those permissions. But before that, to avoid any hint of paranoia, let’s identify what permissions can be considered dangerous.
Types of Permission You Should Beware Of
Read External Storage – when the app is asking for this permission, you can get alerted. And you should think about why the application needs access to your external storage. If your app has to do something with cleaning up your smartphone, then it’s quite a logical request.
Modify or Delete External Storage – another point to get alerted and ask the question of why the app requires access to your external storage. And, again, most likely, it will be requested by the app that has something to do with cleaning up or managing your data.
If the application is from a reputable developer, you can trust and grant permission. However, if you don’t want to grant access to your SD card, you can simply deny it. If you did provide the app with permission, the only thing to worry about is messing up with the settings (i.e., permitting to delete something you didn’t want to) or the case when the app is hacked.
Generally, different messaging, navigation, and lifestyle apps are asking for too many permissions. But here are several aspects that you should be extremely cautious about:
unnecessary permissions – a flashlight app doesn’t need access to your storage data;
unknown developers – you are always at risk when downloading apps from unknown companies;
free apps – a free app can collect your data to sell it to third parties or spam you with numerous ads.
There are a few things you need to keep in mind, though. Not all unknown developers are bad. And not all the free apps are mining your data. Try searching for some extra information on them. Make it a useful habit to do your research on the apps before downloading and installing them. Now, let’s talk about what permissions apps may need and why.
Calendar
Some applications may need access to your calendar. It is wise to use them if they are work-related, and you would like to have all the appointments in your calendar. At the same time, games that don’t have live tournaments will unlikely require access to your calendar.
Camera
If the application has something to do with making or sending videos and pictures, like Messenger, it may need access to the camera. But if the app doesn’t have any functions linked to the camera, the access to it is surely unjustified. You may be recorded on video without even noticing it.
Contacts
Sometimes, granted access to your contact list is great. You may not have some of your old friends on social media, but an app can make them pop up on your friend suggestion list. Still, you must be extremely careful about it. By providing the app with your contact list, you not only give your information away but may cause a threat to your acquaintances.
Location
There are several reasons why the app may require access to your location. Sometimes, it is easier for your friends to find you via sharing your location if you get lost. Knowing your location, dating apps can show your prospective partners that are nearby. But it may also lead thieves to your house. So, always tick the “only when using the app” option.
Microphone
Sometimes, it is faster and easier to record a voice message rather than type it. That’s why messaging apps may require permission to access your microphone. But here, you need to trust only reputable developers. Apps from the unknown ones can record your private conversations and give them to hackers.
Body Sensors
Various fitness trackers may require access to your body censors, such as information on your heart rate or steps counts. And it is okay to grant permissions to apps like that. But keep in mind that any other application asking for such permission should raise red flags at once.
Phone
Apps like Facebook Messenger that use Voice Over IP connection may require access to your phone number and network information. However, it may lead to applications making phone calls without your consent if something goes wrong, for instance, if the app gets hacked.
Conclusion
Digitalization has made a lot of things easier, but you need to remember that the online world is no safer than its offline counterpart. You are risking your data whenever you are going online. The worst thing you can do is give access to your private information without thinking about the necessity of such an action and its consequences. Yet, being more cautious about granting apps permissions and doing the research on their developers may keep you safer.
