Salamanca ‘start-up’ participated by Iberdrola and CDTI.

 

Arbórea Intellbird, a start-up from Salamanca owned by Iberdrola and the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI), dedicated to the manufacturing, training and operation of remotely piloted aerial systems, a pioneer in Spain in the training of pilots popularly known as ‘ drones’, both in the civil and military fields, has just presented its renewed training line that includes generic training courses for pilots and other specialized courses, of increasing complexity, for specific applications of these systems.

The Arbórea practical school, experienced in teaching operation with remotely piloted aerial systems, focuses its training on the acquisition of knowledge and practical skills for professional operation in emerging market areas such as industrial inspection, cartography, environmental applications or agriculture precision. The experience accumulated since 2008 by the team of technicians, trainers and certified pilots of this company in the design, manufacturing and operation with its own Arachnocóptero platform, allows teaching to be approached from a focus on experience, applied knowledge and practical operation.

 

Facilities

In its facilities at the University of Salamanca Science Park, Arbórea regularly trains technicians from large international companies to pilot its platform in pioneering applications, such as the inspection of wind turbine blades. Arbórea and its Arachnocóptero also collaborate in the training of military pilots at the UAS school of the Air Force.

Arbórea’s training criteria are based on personalized learning and excellence. To this end, it has simulators for fixed and rotary wing systems and teaching and operating aircraft of various kinds, which allow progressive learning until being able to handle professional systems with high load capacity capable of flying under very harsh environmental conditions of wind and rain.
