The place of drones in the field of logistics The future of drones in logistics Logistics, always in search of reinvention, hopes to satisfy this old science-fiction fantasy: to deliver packages by air from one point to another, in complete safety, if possible with little human intervention. No more traffic jams or endless journeys on
DetailsAirspace securing Securing airspace against the use of civil drones Since 2016, the explosion of drones has been described as a real threat to the safety of airliners and to the population. Indeed, this new type of traffic in low altitude airspace generates unprecedented disruptions: (i) Prohibited shooting, (ii) Object of a specific weight flying
DetailsFrench professional drones: whose is their owner and what are their use? 8837 is the number of professional drone operators (equipment weighing more than 800 grams) in France in 2019 (figure taken from the DGAC’s monthly Civil Aviation magazine of January 2020). That is to say an official growth of about 38% per year over
DetailsHow to qualify a service of aerial photography ? Drones are mainly used for aerial photography. however, this image capture covers very disparate uses: real estate, building inspection, film shooting, etc…. involving different specifications from one service to another and, as a result, very variable price ranges that poorly explained. In this post, I will
DetailsStorage of aerial shots – The stakes Drones are mainly used for aerial photography. These missions generate large multimedia content that drone operators find difficult to collect, exploit and archive safely. But what size are we talking about ? The size of a video depends on many parameters, but we will mainly focus on two:
DetailsEven if more than 70% of drones are used for aerial photography, the expression of the needs of the principals tends towards specificity. By way of illustration, while aerial surveillance requires to cover large linear distances with a rather low level of resolution, the inspection of structures will require to carry out geostationary flights with
DetailsIn 2020, as in previous years, the number of drones in the world, all sectors combined, will follow an exponential growth curve. The main manufacturers are still Chinese players for civil drones (leisure and professional) and American players for military drones. These two countries together account for more than 80% of the world market (source
DetailsEvery day, hundreds of drones fly at the same time and must share the territory’s airspace with planes and military aircraft. One of the roles of the DGAC is to coordinate all these actors. To achieve this, the DSAC has put in place four main regulatory principles: Predefined operational scenarios All drone flights must fit
DetailsGrowing exponentially for many years, the use of professional civil drones is highly regulated in order to avoid accidents and guarantee the safety of people in the vicinity. To this end, numerous legislations and regulations have been put in place. In case of a problem, responsibilities are clearly defined between the aircraft manufacturer, the remote
DetailsA drone remains a no-autonomous equipment in human hands. In the interests of safety and protection of property and people, remote pilots must prove that they have full control of their aircrafts and the theoretical skills required to use them. What does the regulation say? First of all, there is an age constraint. For flight
