We are pleased to announce that Drones will serve as the Gold Sponsor of the 2026 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS 2026), taking place from June 15 to 18 2026 in Corfu, Greece. ICUAS 2026 aims to cover a wide spectrum of topics, focusing on more than ten areas in particular, including soft aerial robots, cooperative aerial manipulation, bio-inspired aerial robots, etc. Round table discussions will complement the technical sessions that will be held, with two objectives in mind: to find out about the current state of technology and commercially available products for civil and public domain applications and to understand technical requirements and standards for full UAS integration into national airspace.

We are pleased to share that Quiet Drones 2026 will take place on 29 June–1 July in Delft, Netherlands. Quiet Drones is an international conference focused on all aspects of noise and acoustics from Advanced Air Mobility aircraft, including Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS, also known as ‘drones’) and electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft (eVTOL).

Quiet Drones 2026 will present methods under development for establishing measurement standards on noise from UAS and eVTOLs, as well as new metrics to characterize the impact of their noise on people and the environment. It will cover recent advances in the study of noise generation and control at its source, as well as propagation in different flying conditions and environments. It will also present acoustic tools for the detection and identification of drones, alongside drone audition methods for search and rescue. Additionally, it will discuss the public acceptance of noise from delivery UAS, as well as from air taxis in European cities and the rest of the world.

Quiet Drones 2026 will provide a venue for drone noise researchers to meet with manufacturers, users, and those engaged in designing innovative applications for these new technologies.
