After several editions in the Netherlands, Italy and USA, the next edition of the Unmanned Cargo Aircraft Conference will take place in Amsterdam, as part of the Amsterdam Drones Week on 28 November in RAI.
Were the first editions very academic, now we see industry picking up the challenge of the large Cargo drones.
