The results have been very positive, all the explosive materials based on TNT and Nitropenta have been detected. “We are very happy to have soon a unique solution to one of the world’s dirtiest problems. There are still millions of mines and explosives that have to be eliminated in various countries” said Christian Dries, CEO Diamond Aircraft.
