25.01.2022 Just last week a family lost while hiking on a nature preserve in Plant City, Florida was found quickly with the help of a drone. Highs that day were in the 90s, and the family could have faced heatstroke if they werent found in a timely manner. And earlier this year, a similar story came out of Alaska, where the Anchorage Police Department used a drone to find a woman lost in snowy woods in just 15 minutes.

25.01.2022 Drones, also known as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), are seeing a rapid rise in use across Australia. Technological development is enabling more, diverse applications of drones, from agriculture, to infrastructure inspections, to food delivery.

25.01.2022 Its National Science Week. Have you ever wondered how a drone flies? Check out this article from WIRED that explains the science behind the technology! www.wired.com/2017/05/the-physics-of-drones/

24.01.2022 Land Life Company is committed to planting trees and using our technology to make the process as efficient and scalable as possible. What exactly does this mean? We spoke with one of our restoration ecologists and drone experts, Gautham Ramachandra, to explain how we will use technology to jumpstart our planting season this year in Australia on 115 hectares.

24.01.2022 ST. LOUIS Add a ribbon cutting to the growing list of things that are going virtual. Tuesday night, the ceremonial milestone was done in the coolest way possible no Zoom meeting necessary. SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital cut the ribbon on its brand new facility on Grand Boulevard. Officials grabbed their scissors for an actual ribbon cutting, but then everyone went to the roof of the new building for larger-than-life virtual version in the sky.

24.01.2022 Skyfront’s long-endurance hybrid-electric Perimeter UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has been used to perform the first ever ship-to-submarine delivery with a drone. The Perimeter unmanned aircraft took off from a moving surface vessel and delivered supplies to the crew of the ballistic missile submarine, successfully demonstrating this as a rapid and cost-effective way to resupply submarines at sea.

22.01.2022 ENVIRONMENTAL CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED AGAINST SUBSEA 7 PROJECT Protect Ningaloo have launched what theyve described as one of WAs biggest ever conservation communic...ation campaigns. Protect Ningaloo Director, Paul Gamblin said, "The campaign is designed to alert the broader community of the risks posed by a massive oil and gas pipeline fabrication facility and towing operation earmarked for an undeveloped, highly biodiverse part of Exmouth Gulf, Ningaloo." Its just common sense to protect the ecosystem that supports the regions famed tourism industry which sustains the bulk of jobs there. Scientists are regularly discovering new natural wonders in Exmouth Gulf, and if we look after it, it will generate tourism, education and research jobs for decades to come. Its time to draw a line in the sand and stop heavy industry from getting a foothold at Ningaloo. The project is awaiting a decision from the EPA. EPA Chair Dr Tom Hatton said in a statement. "The EPA is currently assessing a proposal by Subsea 7 Australia Contracting Pty Ltd to construct and operate an onshore pipeline bundle fabrication facility at Lots 233 and 1586 to the east of Minilya-Exmouth Road, Learmonth." "An eight week public comment period closed on November 30, 2019, and the proponent responded to public submissions last month." "The EPA intends to provide the Minister for Environment with a report and recommendations of the proposal in the second half of 2020." ABC Pilbara have contacted Subsea 7 for a response but they have declined to be interviewed. Pilbara: Susan Standen

21.01.2022 The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it had granted Amazon approval to deliver packages by drones.

21.01.2022 Drones are now more or less routinely used by farmers across the globe to determine soil characteristics, check crop conditions, monitor irrigation systems and spray crops. But not for harvesting crops, yet. Using drones for harvesting is not such a bad idea at all if you ask me. Why? Because with drones you have zero chance of soil compaction for example. And thats a major problem worldwide due to heavy-weight harvesters and transport vehicles such as chaser bins during harvest. In addition, the urgency to automate the harvest better is increasing. For example due to shortages of seasonal workers. https://www.uasvision.com//13/drone-harvesting-yes-you-can/

13.01.2022 What if the use of emerging technologies for social good exacerbates inequality? We know that the vast majority of so-called Technology for Good Projects are foreign-led, top-down, and techno-centric. So foreign drone companies and manufacturers are often contracted to implement these projects in far-away countries they know next to nothing about.

12.01.2022 Seqwater has welcomed a robotic addition to its land management strategy, deploying mini remote-controlled helicopters to take out invasive weeds.

11.01.2022 Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground. The beauty of being able to fly is to see things from a new perspective - to see things as they really are. Looking straight down from a height of several hundred meters, incredible scenes of inequality emerge. Some communities have been expressly designed with separation in mind, and some have grown more or less organically. -Johnny Miller

06.01.2022 Very excited and pleased to announce a brand extension of UAVISUALS, Drone Masterclass Academy (DMA). The ultimate #drone academy for aspiring professionals. ...We have been working very hard over the last year to tackle a specialised skills shortage in the drone industry. Whilst there are plenty of licensed operators out there the industry is lacking the skills, knowledge and know-how to perform remote operations across the multiple industries drone services are applied in. We have created an education hub for the drone industry to come together, learn & share knowledge. The #online courses will be a collaboration of industry professionals, #business owners, and subject matter experts. The courses will be aimed at the main industries including; Business, Real Estate, Inspections, Photography, Cinematography, FPV & Survey. With the success of the pilot course being well received by students all over the world we are going to be focusing hard to complete the remaining courses by the end of the year!

It's a transitioning multirotor, with eight large props mounted on two wide carbon fiber poles extending from the upper tail and lower front of a slim, pod-shaped cabin. These props have the ability to tilt from pointing vertically upward for takeoff, hover and landing, to fully horizontal in cruise flight. Having eight of them provides a decent level of redundancy in case something fails.
