#ICYMI: First-of-its-kind BVLOS drone operation for combating wildfires! IN•FLIGHT Data has received approval from the Canadian government to operate drone swarms beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS) for wildfire-fighting purposes, allowing simultaneous drone operations at altitudes of up to 2,500 feet. What's particularly fascinating is the concept of simultaneous drone operations (SIMOPS), where an advanced pilot can control multiple aircraft from a single control station—this vastly improved data collection, yielding richer datasets for precise wildfire targeting. Transport Canada - Transports Canada is actively working on regulations for low-risk BVLOS operations, emphasizing safety, scalability, and sustainability. These regulations are currently in the public comment phase, highlighting the government's commitment to safely integrating drones into Canadian skies. Learn more ▶ https://lnkd.in/ex2fGp5D

New acronyms to learn (#SIMOPS), first of kind authorization for simultaneous drone operations, new commercial opportunities for managing drone swarms BVLOS.... "Canada has authorized the operation of drone swarms beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) for fighting wildfires....drone service provider IN-FLIGHT Data is a Canadian SAIL 6 operator, holding three Guinness World Records for its drone flights." "Now, IN-FLIGHT has earned a first-of-its-kind authorization for simultaneous drone operations up to 2,500 feet high, in Class F and Class G airspace, day or night.. The permission has been granted as wildfires continue to burn in the country, ravaging landscapes and threatening towns. Drones offer a safe and effective means of collecting data, providing critical information to firefighters." "Drone swarms represent a huge opportunity for commercial drones. Simultaneous drone operations, or SIMOPS, is a specific type of advanced drone operation, where an advanced pilot is able to control multiple aircraft from a single control station,” explains IN-FLIGHT Data. SIMOPS is an efficient way to operate routine missions, shifting the return on investment for enterprise drone programs." "This is similar to other ICAO countries who are developing similar transportation innovation, such as the US, European Union, Australia and New Zealand. These technologies, such as remote traffic management and SIMOPS, marks a new type of innovation and efficiency in aviation in Canada." #dronetechnology #droneservices #droneoftheday #SIMOPS #BVLOS #droneswarms https://lnkd.in/g6Tk-7A6

🪂 ORKID Reaches Another Milestone: Successful VTOL (DRS) Parachute Deployment Meets Certification Standards on 260VTOL Drone! 🪂 We're excited to announce the successful deployment of the DRS Flight Termination parachute system on our ORKID 260VTOL drone, a key milestone in its journey towards certification! ✈️ This achievement, conducted with a Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of 16 kg, an altitude of 80 meters above ground and a cruising speed of 82 km/h, marks a significant advancement in the maturity of the program. The rigorous test, carried out in accordance with ANAC's Design Authorization requirements for the certification of the ORKID 260VTOL drone, represents the culmination of 1.5 years of dedicated research, development, and testing. It serves as the final and pivotal step in the comprehensive flight campaign undertaken by ORKID. A giant leap for our team and the drone industry in LATAM! #ORKID #drones #innovation #technology #ANAC #certification #safety #flight #parachute #advancement #milestone Drone Rescue Systems GmbH Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia ANAC - Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil

Fascinating Drone Application and projects being discussed at the Amsterdam Drone week. The use of a specially adapted Drone (flying while inside a protective 'shield') to determine safety of burned buildings, called 'Flyability Elios 3' is the first indoor mapping and inspection drone. Allowing a drone to fly while inside a protective 'cage' could lead to a number of other rescue/life saving devices. Thoughts?
Global drone experts are currently gathering at Amsterdam Drone Week, and yet the Netherlands itself also has some very interesting drone projects going on. Here is a case study by Flyability near the port of Rotterdam. #firefighting #dronesolutions #rotterdam #droneapplication #casestudy

A major breakthrough to stalled bodies on Mt. Everest hiking trail. China has “successfully” completed the first-ever drone delivery tests on Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain, from the Nepali side. DJI, in partnership with Nepalese Airlift, 8KRAW, and local guides, has achieved the world’s first drone delivery on Mount Everest. This April test demonstrated the potential for drones to quickly and safely deliver supplies to mountaineers. This achievement was made using DJI’s FlyCart 30, which can carry up to 33 pounds (15 kg). The drone successfully operated under extreme high-altitude conditions. During the tests, the FlyCart 30 carried three oxygen bottles and 1.5 kg of other supplies from Everest Base Camp (17,389 feet) to Camp 1 (19,685 feet). On the return flight, it brought back trash from Camp 1. The drone navigated the dangerous Khumbu Icefall, one of the most perilous sections of the ascent.
