SICANT evolution and Flight Mechanics Area activities have followed parallel paths along RPAS INTA's programs. The beginning of these activities dates back to the 90's. In those years SIVA's program started its development. After research years and efforts in which INTA was a pioneer in our country, first SIVA's flights were performed throghout the year 2000.
