In the coming years, regulation changes and market pushing are expected to relax existing restrictions to UAV flights. In this new scenario, we expect to encounter a greater number of UAVs over our cities, citizens, and critical infrastructures. Such changes impose new requirements in terms of safety, coordination, and operations management that must be properly addressed. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the main challenges that UAVs of the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) type are still facing, detailing their key application areas. Afterward, we discuss some solutions where wireless communications between UAVs enable achieving advanced collaborative solutions such as flight coordination and collision avoidance.
