Admittedly it’s not news the drone was announced back in September, but still hasn’t been seen out in the wild (a cynic might note that the timing conflicted with some of DJI’s announcements). The under 250g categoryĪutel EVO Nano is expected to go on sale February 2022 (Image credit: Autel)Īutel’s announcement of their EVO Nano drone – under 250g and sporting a 48-megapixel camera with 0.8-inch sensor – suggests real competition in the low weight category. Not only should we expect to see more servers like this in the future, but it’s worth remembering that a lot of cloud operations make a tidy profit on the subscriptions. There are also potential advantages for the drone supplier Anafi AI users add a 4G SIM and their communication takes place via an encrypted cloud Parrot operate. Both aircraft have obstacle avoidance systems which allow them to plot more efficient routes to continue their mission (or RTH, in the Mavic’s case).ĤG’s advantage is the transmission at relatively low frequency bands, for longer range there are obvious advantages for services like first responders keen to get an eye on the ground before vehicles can get to a scene. DJI offer a 4G dongle for their new Mavic 3, and the previously-announced Parrot Anafi AI uses built-in 4G connectivity to support BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operation. Drone over cellularĭJI Mavic 3 with 4G dongle (Image credit: DJI)Įxpect to see a growing fight over a potentially useful tech drone over 4G / LTE. Expect to hear more about both an Open UTM Service standard being finalized. The difference is that UTM should mean pilots can claim airspace at the push of a button – of the last 120m (400ft) of airspace, which is why UTM will be a growing issue. The first test flights should begin in 2022.Īll this means that both sides of the Atlantic drone pilots are now squaring off against not just the exaggerated safety fears of technophobes, but the interests of large-scale commercial use. ![]() ![]() In the UK, too, plans have been approved to build the first Urban Air Port in Coventry (with the backing of car manufacturer Hyundai). ![]() Why? Because the business world really is looking at filling skies with delivery bots and flying taxis Joby aviation has already carried out 1,000 test flights of their Jetsons-like electric flying taxi, and are aiming at getting FAA approval in 2024 to begin commercial service from city centre locations like adapted roofs and carparks. More importantly for the wider world, the company has been working with the FAA as they develop the rules on Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM), and UTM is something all drone pilots – especially photographers and videographers – will need to keep a close eye on. With a similar model – partnering with food delivery – the firm has been able to deliver up to eight hamburgers per flight and has found the pandemic has driven demand. That hasn’t stopped North-Carolina based firm Flytrex get an extra mile (10,000 homes) added to their trial zone.
