Recent video from The Slow Mo Guys offers an interesting look at how vortexes form around drone propellers. They compare a 3-blade propeller with a custom in-house 4-blade design, showcasing how the 4-blade design also achieves lower noise levels. Smoke trail tests were captured in a studio environment at 20,000 and 50,000 fps, revealing detailed flow patterns. #DroneTechnology #EngineeringVisualization #SlowMotion #Fluidflow Watch the original video here; https://lnkd.in/dnv7UD-R

Shared about aerodynamics and the aerodynamicist jobscope to one of the participants in the workshop I attended yesterday because they barely heard of it before. For example, for any vehicle, you could have a powerful and efficient engine and transmission, or for an E.V a good motor and high energy density battery pack with a decent cooling system, but if your exterior body is shaped like a brick or blunt/bluff body, you'll waste energy just to overcome that drag.

🔍 What Makes a Drone Perfect for Delivery? In drone delivery, design matters. Fixed-wing, multicopter, or VTOL — each type of drone offers distinct structural and performance advantages. 🚀 With a VTOL drone like the Eiger, you no longer have to compromise between range, agility, and payload! 👉 Learn more in our comparison guide: https://lnkd.in/evb2QNd9

As someone deeply involved in Unmanned Aerial Systems, I often get asked: Which type of drone is best? The answer? It depends on the mission: Fixed-wing drones excel at covering long distances with impressive efficiency. Multirotor drones shine when precision and agility are key. VTOL drones provide a seamless mix of both worlds. This insightful picture in a post by RigiTech highlights the importance of tailoring your drone to the task. For delivery operations especially, understanding these distinctions is critical. What’s your take on the future of delivery drones?

Choosing the Right Battery for Your Drone: Solid-State High-Voltage vs. Traditional When deciding between solid-state high-voltage batteries and traditional batteries for your drone, consider these key points: Solid-State High-Voltage Batteries: Longer Flight Times: Higher energy density for extended missions. Enhanced Safety: Lower risk of fire or leakage. Longer Lifespan: Reduced maintenance costs. Compact Design: Potential for improved aerodynamics. Traditional Batteries: Cost-Effective: Affordable option for budget-conscious users. Established Technology: Reliable and readily available. Compatibility: Seamless integration with many existing drone models. Which to Choose? For professional use, longer flights, and higher safety standards, opt for solid-state high-voltage batteries. For casual flying or budget constraints, traditional batteries are a practical choice. Choose the battery that best aligns with your drone's needs and operational goals for optimal performance. #solidstatebattery #dronebattery #hvbattery

🚁 I recently had the incredible opportunity to conduct a drone shoot for a major power station upgrade project. Capturing this monumental transformation from the sky was both a technical challenge and a visual treat! 🔧 **What made this shoot special?** 1. **Precision & Planning:** Coordinating with engineers and project managers to ensure every key upgrade was documented from the best angles. 2. **Safety First:** Operating in an industrial environment, safety was paramount. We adhered to strict protocols to ensure a safe and successful shoot. 3. **Innovation in Action:** The drone provided unique vantage points that are impossible to achieve with traditional methods, showcasing the scale and complexity of the upgrade. This project highlighted the growing role of drone technology in modern infrastructure projects. It’s exciting to see how these advancements contribute to building a more reliable and sustainable energy grid. Big thanks to everyone involved in making this shoot a success. I’m thrilled to have played a part in documenting such a pivotal upgrade. #DronePhotography #Infrastructure #Innovation #EnergySector #UAV #PowerStation
