Future Flight in Place is exploring the importance of local context to the views of citizens and stakeholders about the potential role and barriers to the introduction of drones for logistics. The University of Leeds is conducting a Q-Sort with communities in three parts of the UK to understand whether citizens views differ from those of experts (collected through the related E-Drone project).
