FLYING-CAM

Watch the Flying-Cam SARAH 4.0 drone land at the Helicus Drone Cargo Port, as part of the SAFIR-Ready project hosted in this case at the pioneering Jan Yperman Hospital in Ypres. This initiative introduces the world’s first fully integrated solution for the transport of blood samples between an hospital and a dialysis center. The pneumatic tube system ensures the unattended seamless transfer of medical samples from the clinic room to the center’s operating room. End-to-end traceability is guaranteed throughout the process, ensuring secure and efficient handling. The flight path management is embedded within a dedicated Manned-Unmanned Air Traffic Control architecture, developed under the European BURDI Project. This initiative is part of the SESAR Joint Undertaking, contributing to the development of the Digital European Sky. More to come about the Flying-Cam SARAH and DISCOVERY, stay tuned.

We are thrilled to confirm that this significant deal with Space Intel and Phase One was finalized earlier this week right here at FLYING-CAM's office! 🎉 The integration of the advanced Phase One high-resolution 4-band imaging system into our state-of-the-art FLYING-CAM DISCOVERY UAS marks an exciting milestone. We are proud to support Space Intel in taking this innovative system to new heights. 🚁✨ Thank you, David Willems, for your trust and partnership. Here's to a successful collaboration and a very fruitful year ahead! Let’s soar together! 🚀

Flying-Cam’s SARAH 4.0 (Special Aerial Response Automatic Helicopter) has been selected as part of the European project Saphir-Ready, led by Helicus, to provide the first world fast and efficient drone-based medical cargo transportation between hospitals and dialysis centers. The first Drone Cargo Port (DCP), developed by Helicus, has been inaugurated at the Jan Yperman Ziekenhuis Hospital in Ypres. This unattended landing platform is designed to retrieve the drone's payload and seamlessly transfer it into the hospital using a pneumatic tubing system, commonly utilized in large-scale infrastructures. The SARAH 4.0, proudly manufactured in Belgium by Flying-Cam, is uniquely capable of transporting an 8 kg payload over distances exceeding 20 km—making it an ideal solution for medical logistics. This initiative is supported by EASA under the BURDI project, which paves the way for integrating manned and unmanned aviation in the emerging much awaited Digital Aviation era."

SUCCESS for the DISCOVERY A-Mag Gradio. 20m/s ground speed with wind gust up to 37 km/h and the flight controller maintaining the speed with great stability. And no waste of time during the turn, like it is when using a "bird". We thank again the De Beers Group (https://lnkd.in/e6qziSg) and the Spectrem Pioneering Company (https://spectrem.co.za/) to rely on the Flying-Cam R&D Expertise to push the boundaries of innovation in Geological Mapping and Exploration. Thank you Anre, Thank you Louis, Thank you Brad... Next is a 500m2 survey grid with air to air footage... stay tune.

There is the Speed Run at 15m/s for the DISCOVERY A-Mag Gradio. Following calculation for that speed, there is a 10kg Drag generated by the Sensors 6m structure, this means a total of 28kg Load for the Discovery. All gages are in the Green Arc and we are close to best efficiency with the translational lift. Next will be 20m/s.

Before the next Speed Run to test the Max Airspeed, let's go for a full Automatic Spool Up to Nominal RPM, feeling the power of the 11 kW Turbine, and then lift the 75kg machine to a 10 meters stand by position. The Payload weight is 18kg with 6 meters wing span, it includes SATCOM, CASIA Sens & Avoid System and RMS Real time Compensator. Mag Sensors are provided by the Company De Beers - Spectrem, the first and forward looking Owner - Operator of this new breakthrough in Geophysics A-MAG Gradiometry. As Otto Lilienthal said: "To invent an airplane is nothing. To build one is something. But to fly is everything."

Getting ready for the next flight test at 15m/s. Like in a qualification Lap in F1...

Here is DISCOVERY A-MAG Gradio Flying at 5m/s... We want to reach 15m/s... and more to test the Limit... Stay with us we will show the full range.

The New DISCOVERY A-MAG Gradiometry is flying, very well !... The Gradiometry technique involves using two sensors (Cesium Vapor), measuring the gradient of the magnetic field, which provides more detailed information about the subsurface features than a single sensor measurement. The sensor are 6 meters apparts... the R&D team spent a few hours to tune the Auto-Pilot to reach perfection. This is where having the Auto-Pilot R&D team under the same roof makes a huge difference.

Coming Up: DISCOVERY Gradiometer flight! More details to share! Stay tuned!
