The Pelican Cargo will be deployed for a range of use cases and operations, including services for humanitarian aid, logistics, and delivery companies, as well as healthcare and medical organizations. The applications for this service are amazing. The full flight program with the Pelican Cargo is set to begin in early Q2 of 2023 in Cornwall, UK, and will include flights for the Future Flight Challenge phase three Open Skies Cornwall project, which Skyports Drone Services won in July 2022.
The introduction of Pyka's Pelican Cargo into Skyports Drone Services' fleet supports the company's ambitions of scaling drone operations and solidifying its market position. With the substantial uplift in capacity, Skyports Drone Services can now fly significant volumes of cargo over long distances, connecting communities in remote areas and providing a regular and robust form of transport to hard-to-reach areas.
According to Alex Brown, Director of Skyports Drone Services, the addition of the Pelican Cargo is a real game changer for the company. He said, "To date, we've been focused on operations with smaller, high-value payloads.

Importantly, we’re doing this now –this isn’t future gazing, it’s a ready-to-go service.
Pyka's CEO and Co-founder, Michael Norcia, stated that Skyports Drone Services is the ideal partner for the deployment of Pyka’s Pelican Cargo, given its sophistication as a drone operator. He said, "We are thrilled to be working with the team at Skyports to demonstrate the Pelican Cargo’s revolutionary capabilities and operating economics."

Project Skyway, the UK's first nationwide drone superhighway
Project Skyway, the UK's first nationwide drone superhighway, received a £5 million investment from BT, which will go towards the development of detect and avoid (DAA) software technology called ARROW®. The project, which is led by Altitude Angel, a Reading-based UTM solution provider, will connect a 165-mile drone corridor above Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Coventry, and Rugby and is expected to become the largest and longest network of drone superhighways in the world.

Human Evolution and Climate Change
The Question An oft asked question relates to how humans and every other species on the planet will or will not adapt to the new environmental conditions that climate change will quite probably (and arguably already has) impose across much of the globe. For other species the answer is fairly obvious, they will either adapt or they will perish. As has been the case throughout all of earth’s history, evolution through natural selection requires that those with the traits that are best adapted to reproduce will do so and so pass them on, especially when pressed by changes in the environment. Many argue that the changes we are seeing or will soon see as a result of climate change are occurring too rapidly for many species to adapt. In essence that evolution cannot keep up with the pace of change. Mutations simply cannot occur frequently enough to supply a wide enough variety of phenotypes of different varieties to allow for at least one that can survive the new conditions any given species may find itself in. Rapid changes are the hardest for the longest lived (excluding microorganisms), and slowest reproducing creatures to deal with, and they face the greatest threat of massive population decrease or even extinction. I happen to think that adaptation can happen much faster than is typically believed, but am not naïve enough to think that even a greatly accelerated adaptation or mutation process will be enough to save all or even most animal species from the threat of habitat loss or change brought about by global warming.
