ÉALÚ-AER​ is a technology infrastructure integration and demonstration project. The project's goal was to establish Ireland's first Digital Sky Demonstrator, located at Future Mobility Campus Ireland’s recently established vertiport site, in Shannon, Ireland.

The project focused on the demonstration of U-space architecture operations (U1 and U2 services) and their integration with Air Traffic Management (ATM) using cutting-edge drone traffic management technology solutions. The project demonstrated five use cases of urban air mobility that captured the operational requirements, vehicle dynamics, and technology demonstrations associated with the projected near-term Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) services market. This includes local inspection, light-freight, long-distance logistics, and air-taxi operations, spanning short to long-range distances.

​​ÉALÚ-AER​ also participated and provided feedback on the new regulatory framework and standards to support the implementation of U1/U2 services across Europe, ensuring safety and interoperability. Moreover, the project analysed the public acceptance of IAM operations across Ireland, examining the attitudes, expectations and concerns of citizens with respect to IAM, new business models and technologies.
