Student looking for information

Hi /r/drones

I'm a product design student in need of information. I am writing a dissertation/tech report with a focus on drones. I have undertaken research into the many forms and systems currently being sold and explored in the UAV sector. As you all know DJI is the dominant force in the 'camera drone' market with drones to fill most consumer and commercial needs, with many other manufacturers(skydio, autel, parrot, hubsan, fimi etc.) taking the rest of the market.

In researching this area, concepts and experiments in potential propulsion and steering systems have made me interested in ideating around this and I have some questions.

1 Why don't more camera drone makers use a helicopter design when helicopters are known to have better aerial stability than multicopters?

2 Why don't camera drones have multiple lenses like new apple and android phones that sport a wide angle and a more narrow telephoto lens to give users more reach and framing options? (I think Philip Bloom mentioned this in his Air 2S review)

3 As hobbyists and commercial pilots, are there any specific characteristics or features you'd be interested in that aren't yet covered in the drone market?

4 I know there are regulations that don't apply to drones under 250 grams in Europe and the US and under 200 grams in Japan. Can you see a future in which sub 250g drones have capabilities similar to much larger drones in terms of flight stability and camera technology, or is mass a significant limiting factor here?

5 Is the styling of the current drone market appealing to you? Many of the drones I see have a mostly utilitarian aesthetic with a few exceptions. If a drone was to be designed more like a car, to be a desirable object with unique style and detailing, would that factor in to a purchase?

Innovations in battery and material technology and AI, will, I'm sure a have significant impact on the sector in the coming years and this is one of the reasons drones have peaked my interest.

TLDR: Product design student looking for ideas and features to design a future camera drone system.

360 aerial video of Salinas de Imon

We offer the ability to record video from the air in 360 format As we already assumed in a previous post we were delighted to participate in the technical marketing event hosted by MarketingDirecto.com where we first introduced our new service 360º aerial photography using a drone : a type of video that comes with a number of benefits as well as challenges. Advantages of aerial photography in 360 On the one hand, it makes a difference immersive 360º videos offering something entirely new as the experience of putting on virtual reality glasses and contemplating a Video from the air 360 To date, this is one of the closest sensations to the feeling of flying like a bird. It is also an incredibly beautiful and attractive way to display and promote tourist attractions. Problems with video from the air in 360 On the contrary, creating this type of video adds the individual complications of getting the drone up in the air and recording 360-degree video, the biggest challenge is developing...

Purchase and use of parachutes for drones

The new law will allow working in conditions that were previously illegal. One operational scenario that has been most needed is flying drones in urban areas or over crowds of people, and this will be possible with a few requirements. One of them, the one that drives most operators crazy, is that the drone has an impact energy absorption system (airbag or parachute). The problem with this is that AESA has not yet decided on the specifications that these devices will need. Logically, it is about introducing a new element for improvement aviation security in the use of drones, but in this case the indications for use are not very clear. The subject seems delicate and following the rules can be costly. We will comment on the current situation and how DronProfessional.com is handling it A parachute is a good item to minimize damage in case of accidental drops of the drone. They help minimize damage to aircraft, cameras and LiPo batteries. The latter can become dangerous, as they ...

Análisis del incidente con drones en el aeropuerto de Gatwick

4.7/5 – (8 votos) Sin duda este no es el primer incidente entre drones y aviones, pero este último ha provocado un caos brutal durante nada menos que 24 horas en el aeropuerto de Gatwick en Lontres y por ello marcará necesariamente un antes y un después en la historia de los drones y en la gestión de los aeropuertos. ¿Por qué este incidente marcará un antes y un después? Los aeropuertos no pueden permitirse el lujo de sufrir este tipo de incidentes y adoptarán toda clase de medidas para poder dar respuesta a cualquier imprevisto de esta clase. La seguridad aérea está formada por un conjunto de medidas encaminadas a evitar los incidentes en todo tipo de aeronaves. En ese sentido, cada incidente grave se ve acompañado a posteriori de una ingente labor de investigación para determinar las causas de cada accidente aéreo. El objetivo de todo ello es incorporar nuevas medidas en los procedimientos operativos y en el entrenamiento de pilotos para evitar en la medida de lo posible nuevos acc...
