夏休み初日の2024年7月20日（土）小学生を含めた「FPV体験ゼミ01期」を開講しました。

「ライセンスを取得しないとドローンを飛ばせない」という誤った認識を持ち、ドローンを始めるのにハードルを感じていた方々や、これまで費用の問題でドローンに触れる機会が得られなかった中学生や高校生などに向け、ドローンに触れる機会を創ることも「手軽にドローンが始められる技能証明書不要の”ゼミ”」の目的です。入学前に入校金や受講料を一括して支払い、長期間の開講時間を確保するのではなく、自身の習熟度や各自のゴールに合わせて気軽に参加できるよう、あえて”スクール”ではなく”ゼミ”という名称で、❶ FPVドローン体験ゼミ ❷ FPVドローン製作ゼミ ❸ FPVドローン操縦ゼミの3ステップで、FPVドローンの製作･操縦･空撮が段階的に学べる構成になっています。

FPV hands-on seminar 01 was held on Saturday, July 20, 2024.

On Saturday, July 20, 2024, the first day of summer vacation, we held the “FPV hands-on seminar 01” including elementary school students.

The seminar was aimed at people who had a misconception that they could not fly a drone without a license, and who felt it was a hurdle to start flying drones, as well as junior high and high school students who had not had the opportunity to try drones due to cost issues. The purpose of the “seminar,” which does not require a certificate of proficiency, is to provide an opportunity for junior high and high school students and others who have not had the opportunity to experience drones due to cost. The name “seminar” is intended to allow students to easily participate according to their level of proficiency and their own goals, instead of paying an entrance fee and course fees in one lump sum before enrollment, and ensuring a long course time. The program consists of three steps: ❶ FPV drone experience seminar ❷ FPV drone production seminar ❸ FPV drone operation seminar, allowing students to learn FPV drone production, operation, and aerial photography step by step.

2024年6月11日（火）〜 28日（金）まで予定通り「防災ドローン操縦士 講習第03期」を開講しました。防災現場でドローンを運航するために必要な知識とスキルに加えて国家資格「二等無人航空機操縦士技能証明書」を取得できる本講習では、今期も受講生全員が「二等無人航空機操縦士技能証明書」取得のための実地修了審査に合格され、今後は防災現場でドローンを活用されることでしょう。

The 3rd session of the “Disaster Drone Pilot Training Course” was held as scheduled from June 11 (Tue.) to 28 (Fri.), 2024.

The “Drone Pilot Training for Disaster Prevention Term 03” was held from June 11 (Tue.) to 28 (Fri.), 2024, as scheduled.

ドローン大学校、伊藤忠商事株式会社（本社：東京都港区、代表取締役社長COO：石井 敬太）、株式会社竹山（本社：北海道札幌市、代表取締役社長：土田 拓也）、AIR WINGS合同会社（本社：東京都江戸川区、代表社員：林 賢太）が協力し、ドローンによって北海道・内浦湾を横断し、医療機器を輸送する実証実験を実施しました。この内浦湾をドローンが横断することは本邦初となりました。
日本では、2022年12月の改正航空法によりレベル4（有人地帯における目視外飛行）が解禁され、ドローンの活用領域が大きく拡大しています。また、医療機器はその性質から、輸送にあたって緊急性及び定時性の両方が求められる一方で、その物流を担うインフラ及び輸送人員の維持、並びに離島・山間・ BCP対応での安定供給が課題となっています。ドローンによって、全自動かつ高速で医療機器を搬送することは、このような社会課題に大きく寄与する可能性を秘めています。
今回の実証実験は、株式会社竹山（本社：北海道札幌市、代表取締役社長：土田 拓也、以下「竹山」）、一般社団法人ドローン大学校（本社：東京都港区、代表理事：名倉 真悟、以下「ドローン大学校」）を共同実施者、AIR WINGS合同会社（本社：東京都江戸川区、代表社員：林 賢太、以下「AIR WINGS」）を協力企業とした共同実験として実施しました。実験内容としては、伊藤忠商事が2022年3月に資本業務提携・販売代理店契約を締結したドイツのWingcopter GmbH社製のeVTOL型ドローン「W198」を使い、竹山が提供する急性期脳梗塞血栓回収に用いる医療機器等を輸送しました。また、室蘭市潮見公園（イタンキ浜）から茅部郡森町（森漁協）まで、陸路だと2時間以上かかる距離を、内浦湾を空路で横断することで、最短約28分で輸送することができました。

Demonstration Experiment to Transport Medical Equipment by Drone Across Uchiura Bay, Hokkaido, Japan

Drone College, ITOCHU Corporation (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Keita Ishii, President and COO), Takeyama Corporation (headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido; Takuya Tsuchida, President and CEO), and AIR WINGS LLC (headquartered in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo; Kenta Hayashi, Representative Director) have collaborated to conduct a demonstration experiment using drones to transport medical equipment across Uchiura Bay in Hokkaido. (headquartered in Edo-ku, Tokyo; Kenta Hayashi, CEO), conducted a demonstration experiment in which drones were used to transport medical equipment across Uchiura Bay in Hokkaido. This was the first time in Japan for a drone to cross Uchiura Bay. In Japan, the ban on Level 4 (unsighted flights in manned areas) will be lifted in December 2022 under the revised Civil Aeronautics Law, greatly expanding the scope of drone applications. In addition, the nature of medical equipment requires both urgency and punctuality in transportation, while maintaining the infrastructure and personnel for logistics, as well as a stable supply to remote islands, mountainous areas, and BCPs are also issues. The fully automated, high-speed transport of medical equipment by drone has the potential to make a significant contribution to addressing these social issues. (headquartered in Sapporo, Hokkaido; Takuya Tsuchida, President; hereinafter “Takeyama”), Drone College (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; Shingo Nagura, President; hereinafter “Drone College”), and AIR WINGS LLC (headquartered in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo; Kenta Hayashi, President; hereinafter “AIR WINGS LLC”) as the joint implementers of this verification experiment. (headquartered in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo; Kenta Hayashi, President; hereinafter “AIR WINGS”) as a cooperating company. The experiment involved the use of the W198 eVTOL drone manufactured by Wingcopter GmbH of Germany, with whom ITOCHU concluded a capital and business alliance and sales agency agreement in March 2022, to transport medical equipment and other items used for acute stroke thrombus recovery provided by Takeyama. In addition, the distance from Shiomi Park in Muroran City (Itanki Beach) to Mori Town in Kayabe County (Mori Fisheries Cooperative Association), which would have taken more than two hours by land, was transported in as little as 28 minutes by crossing Uchiura Bay by air.
