Researchers have developed a new kind of wing that could dramatically improve the performance of small drones. Inspired by birds and insects, the wing has a leading edge that, as counterintuitive as it may seem, actually causes turbulence. And yet the new wing design actually improves performance...
Equipment Limitations:Mapping with drones is limited by the range and endurance of the drone equipment, as well as the availability of spare parts and maintenance services. Essentially very large areas of mapping may require afixed-wing droneover a multi-copter. Now that you are aware of the b...
However, when using ESC and FC from different brands, while they should be compatible, the pinouts might be different, requiring rearrangement of the wires in the harness, which can be a huge hassle. If this is what you want to do, ensure to double-check the pinout before connecting the ...
flying, and tuning FPV drones. Whether you’re interested in racing, freestyle flying, or simply exploring the sky from a unique perspective, this tutorial will provide you with valuable insights and practical advice to help you get started. From understanding the essential...
From FEMA to county sheriff departments, expert technicians to local volunteers -- SAR teams do important work all over the world every day. In this article, we'll look at the different training SAR teams undergo to perform their duties as well as the vehicles and equipment they ...
Additional weather configurations include: 2-3 R2024a • Sun position based on geolocation • Snowfall conditions • Volumetric cloud parameters • Raindrop interaction on camera sensors Simulation 3D pack blocks now support Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) input coordinate frame To enable ECEF...
The first and most important design choice is what responsibilities the board should have. We use the term “responsibility” to refer to the board’s purpose (what it aims to achieve), its rights (what it can do), and duties (what it must do). The board’s responsibilities are typicall...
You can use either LHCP or RHCP antennas, there’s no different in performance. However, make sure you only use LHCP on on your goggles and the drones, or only RHCP on your goggles and drones, but DO NOT mix them or you will get a huge performance penalty. ...
The DGR are principally concerned with the operation of large, crewed, fixed-wing aeroplanes of the type typically used to transport the vast majority of airfreight, but also apply to the transport of DG by any aircraft type, including helicopters and UAVs. Whereas helicopter operations are addre...
Weeds are among the most harmful abiotic factors in agriculture, triggering significant yield loss worldwide. Remote sensing can detect and map the presence of weeds in various spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions. This review aims to show the current and future trends of UAV applications in...
