How has Covid-19 affected the Drone industry?

 

The current pandemic has affected the world and has made society across all angles of the globe re-evaluate their lifestyles.

However, how it affects industry is a completely different area to discuss. And one area that needs exploration is the Drone industry.

So has Covid-19 affected the Drone industry? And if so how?

Here, Quotes 4 Drones explains it all.

It’s not rocket science to understand that the Drone industry was initially met with hesitation but since the pandemic, it looks as though the positive elements to this industry, has out-weighed the negatives.

And here’s a few reasons why Drones are a good addition:

Sanitisation:

In a bid to reduce the rise of the infection rate, the use of agricultural spray Drones are now being used to sanitise public spaces.

And while it’s too soon to analyse data to see if this method actually works and if there any risks involved, it is quite clear that, for now, it can only help.

Healthcare:

With an investment of an estimated $300m since 2012, according to commercialuavnews.com, Drones are certainly making traction in a number of areas, including medical supplies.

Drones also aid reducing patient travel. And by that we mean that the UK government unveiled a £90m funding package to enable medicine deliveries across Southampton, Portsmouth and other areas in England. While hospitals are overrun with treating Covid patients, those with other illnesses are sometimes overlooked.

But with Drones, chemotherapy kits could be flown from Southampton to recognised locations where they would be taken to the patient’s home and administered by local medical staff. In addition, drones could also be used to transport urgent blood and organs.

Employment: 

Unlike humans employment during this pandemic Drones are always available and do not have to quarantine rules, affecting productivity. But there are obviously negatives. One effect will be on the supply chain for Drone manufacturers. The time frame for components may become hindered, according to Patrique Zaman, Founder & CEO AVY.

The Rise of Air Taxis: Revolutionizing Transportation in Countries

Air taxis, once a concept confined to the realm of science fiction, are now becoming a reality in countries around the world. These innovative vehicles combine the convenience of a taxi with the speed and flexibility of an aircraft, promising to revolutionize the way we travel. In this blog post, we will explore the efforts made by various countries to implement and embrace this futuristic transportation technology. 1. Israel Israel is leading the way in the implementation of air taxis. Recently, the Israeli government has approved trials of air taxis in the country, and numerous companies have sprung up to provide these services. The goal is to alleviate traffic congestion and provide more efficient transportation by rapidly transporting people through the air. Companies like Urban Aeronautics and EVTOL are in the lead of such efforts, with Urban Aeronautics developing a compact version of its Cormorant unmanned vehicle that can carry up to two people, while EVTOL is partnering wi

The Most Immersive Flying Experience!!

FPV drones are quickly becoming a huge trend within the drone industry. What is a FPV drone? FPV stands for first-person view. Flying an FPV drone, means that the pilot see’s what the drone sees.   Traditional drones are flown through the pilot’s perspective on the ground. FPV drones are piloted through the perspective of the drone via an onboard camera that is placed on the drone and transmits a livestream straight to FPV goggles, a headset, a smartphone device, or other screen. FPV drones offer the pilot a much more immersive flying experience, which can be shared with anyone watching the video captured.   The benefits of flying an FPV drone?   An immersive experience that uses technology to provide pilots with the most futuristic viewing. Precise flying and better accuracy allowing quicker reactions and better awareness of surroundings. Allows the pilot to capture stunning aerial images and video footage.
