But how does a drone actually fly? Ah, this is an excellent opportunity to look at some physics. Vertical Motion Drones use rotors for propulsion and control. You can think of a rotor as a fan, because they work pretty much the same. Spinning blades push air down. Of course, all ...
It’s not unusual for anyone to wonder how drones fly. Some may consider it a miracle but we’d like to describe it as physics in action. Remember we mentioned earlier how motors and propellers work together. Well, they’re responsible for drones flying. The motors spin the propellers whil...
And why do drones have 4 engines? Do they all rotate in the same direction? With "How Do Things Fly?", you can freely play and learn, with no pressure or stress. Think, act, observe, ask questions and find answers. Have fun answering one of the most curious questions: how do ...
So, how do drones manager to hover over one spot without falling? It is also about physics. Two of the rotors rotate clockwise while the other two rotate counter-clockwise. This is meant to balance the sideways momentum of the drone so that it doesn’t lose its balance. When the drone ...
(I was surprised to hear that learning to fly is apparently easier and takes less time than learning to fertilize!) Other women in their SHGs are trained as drone technicians, ready to repair the machines if any problems arise. In the less than two years, the Drone Didi program is ...
Point to note: Some ultra-lightweight drones won’t be able to fly in anything above a light breeze. Know the Rules & Regulations It’s your responsibility to be up to date with drone rules and regulations. These can—and sometimes do—change, so make sure you stay informed. Also, diff...
Discover how XM2 revolutionized aerial cinematography in Hollywood, crafting heavy-lift drones for iconic films like Pirates of the Caribbean.
"There is a AU$4 billion surveying and mapping industry in Australia, which at the moment doesn't involve drones," he tells Gizmag. "Surveyors are using tools like LIDAR that are very expensive and work very slowly. If we have a drone take off and fly in a grid pattern, taking a pho...
french scientist, david grimley, and his team placed transmitters on the birds and wondered how long they would need to fly to their usual plankton meal which was now far away at the edge of the retreating ice. so when they gathered around to collect the first batch of data from their ...
AI is changing the role of aerospace engineers by reducing the need for certain design work. A craft with the right intelligence can find ways to prevent an accident or avoid other problems. AI algorithms that create data on the fly help aircraft chart a course that is more stable and less...
