draganfly is undoubtedly the best drone company! It is providing support in ukraine by supplying ukrainian people with medicines, insulin and much more. with this it is increasing its visibility and brand awareness. has an experienced team and unique technology, currently very underestimated based on its potential!
Hate to burst your bubble (a year later) Prisons now have anti drone perimeters around the yard and up to 600 feet that bounce the drones away. Not sure it’s possible if ppl can still go around that but something tells me it’s not as simple as u put. I would assume someone did this and made a few prisons look helpless as they watched there students leave recess.
10 minutes of flight they said, so if you only use half the battery to give plenty for safety, and assuming the rate of ascent in this video based on the 120m from the tower, i don't see why 2000m isn't achievable, however, the licensing and controlling at that distance plus changes in wind for such a light vehicle could be an issue.
It is illegal to drop anything from an aircraft unless it is over a designated drop zone. That is why they are called drop zones. And why would a drop zone allow you to use their land to put them out of business?
I see an elevator, powered by drone system, wired to the ground with 15k ft cable for limitless power. Up and down it goes, just watch out for the cable on your way down. Certainly needs some engineering involved.
BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E. jumping, is parachuting or wingsuit flying from a fixed structure or cliff - NOT from a flying aircraft ( like a Drone ). Just sayin ;-)
Forget about base jumping, this drone could save lives in emergency situations: putting people down from burning buildings, lifting and crossing flooding rivers and so on...
I think you're right. I saw this video once where the narrator claimed, "They call it Dromejumping" (although the practitioner in the video actually referred to it as a "skydive jump from a drone".)
Looks like BASE jumping is now BASED jumping. Buildings, Antennas, Spans (which includes bridge), Earth (such as the top of a cliff) and now Drones. AWESOME!!!!
I was really hoping they'd jump off a building with the drone's propellers not activated, and then start them up in place of a parachute to slow your fall. That'd actually be BASE jumping with a drone, too. Welp.
There is at least one company that has working drone taxis. The idea is to find an empty taxi, sit inside and follow the instructions - like insert credit card and punch in destination. It is all automated and driverless. The company I believe is called "E-hang".
If this was invented when 9/11 happened, it could have saved lives. Imagine the fire department has a bunch of those, it would have been a game changer. Great concept guys!
Caged Cross don't think so, it would take so much damm drones it would be a hazard, what would have been better is if they didn't bomb 3rd world countries in the first place.
Well it depends for what purpose you intend to implement the drones. What job would they be doing fire fighting wouldn’t be practical because the force exerted on the the fire fighter from even a 45ml is to much for that drone to handle but very cool idea hope to see this tech applied in other areas in the future
Planned original use was to fight fires in high-rises. Not sure how this would work. The high pressure needed to pump water to such heights would push the drone in the opposite direction to the water jet/ away from the building, or am I wrong?
Discovery, you've gotta get over this _"gotta watch it first, also gotta make some fake suspense"_ fetish you've got. People are too smart for it. You're dying.
This is not a base jump. BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E. jumping, is parachuting or wingsuit flying from a fixed structure or cliff. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: building, antenna, span, and Earth (cliff)
It's not anything yet...it's a new sport...and rather than concentrating on how awesome this is..I can't Blv people are focusing on technicalities of what to call it
Im not a skydiver but i can imagine this is the future of skydiving. Less costs, the skydivers are more independent to jumping (you dont need a pilot), more places they can jump because a runway isnt necessary and and and. It is still in the beginning of development but in a few years . . .
João Drapala, exactly what i was going to point out. I cant believe Discovery could get it so wrong. He may have jumped a BASE rig but surely didnt do a BASE jump.
So then, conventional skydiving from an airplane would also be considered BASE jumping now? In other words, all forms of skydiving that involve a parachute are now considered BASE by that definition. :- D
I couldn´t understand if he was just holding with his bare hands or if he was also attached, and if he was attached, how would him release it with just one hand??
Yesss, this is awesome! Can't wait till that comes here to the US. I'd love to get into this. This could greatly reduce the cost of traditional skydiving :)
Can't wait for the LiveLeak video of one of these drones failing at 90% of the required height for chute deployment.. sorry..I only see the most negative, devastating outcome for anything in this forsaken life.
Well. Modern parachutes for basejumping can be fully deployed so quick that I can't see any problem here. The only thing might be malfunction of the harness or something similar. That kind of drones simply don't fail, that's the other thing. To many rotors (this thing surely can fly with 50% of the propellers not working), to many independent ESC's and flight controllers. It's nothing like a little quad-copter. I'm pretty sure there's even some fail safe algorithm that asks that drone to gain altitude to certain level in case of radiolink lost.
How can you claim free fall jumping isn't a sport....? it's just a different way of doing it. How can someone who's into fpv quads not see the practical see the applications these types of drones could be used for? Disappointing.
