Drone Charter on Equal Opportunity and Inclusion

Local drone experts, entrepreneurs and engineers from 23 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania have signed this Charter on Equal Opportunity & Inclusion regarding the use of drones for social good such as humanitarian aid, public health, sustainable development and nature conservation.  The Charter calls on both regulators and international organizations to enable not hinder equal opportunity and inclusion. Give local experts the opportunity to lead and participate meaningfully. Trust that local knowledge and local ownership are key for sustainable impact. This is particularly important in the context of disaster management. First responders to disasters by definition are – and always have been – local actors.  We would be grateful for your help in disseminating this Charter widely should you agree with these principles. Thank you kindly.

Window Washer Superheroes

There are two professions that might seem to have absolutely no connection, but when you look at them a little deeper, they’re more similar than you think. What are these important jobs? Window washers and superheroes. They are always needed and risk their lives to make our days a little brighter. They even have a reputation for cleaning up the cities they serve. But what would happen if window washer superheroes existed? Would it be double the work and danger? Nope. In the eyes of the awesome children who receive treatment at both New York-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital it is purely magical. These window washer superheroes prove that real-life heroes and do-gooders exist! Window Washer…

Hybrid drone, video with the new 2000W hybrid generator.

This was one of the tests on our heavy drone (14+ kg). We plan to sell the generator separately and also a complete hybrid drone system with a 4 kg payload capability with 2+ hours of flight time. The generator specs are weight: 3.6 kg compatibility: compatible with any aircraft with a power consumption of less 2000W, the support mount can be customized depending on the needings of the customer. Voltage: 12s (can be modified on request) specific fuel consumption: 1L kW/h dimensions: 20 x 30 x 40 cm The generator is hybrid, this means that even in case of generator failure the drone will still fly. The generator vibrations are suppressed before they can affect the frame. Fuel: gas-oil mix at 1/30 ratio Site: www.sandwichdrones.it For a…

ILS for copter

The recently released Version 3.2 of my GCS FlightZoomer offers an automatic approach system, that is similar to the ILS for manned aviation. For plane it was working since last year but since copters can’t just slip down the glideslope and then touch down with a lot of forward speed, the implemented procedure had to be changed as follows for copter:❶ At first, Copters will stay in GUIDED mode and will descend on the glideslope towards the runway.❷ The moment, when an altitude of 7m above ground will be reached, the descend will stop and the copter will continue in level flight until the begin of the runway is reached.❸ At that point, forward speed will be cut to zero, and FlightZoomer will put the…
