Comment on Launch HN: Voltair (YC W26) – Drone and charging network for power utilitiesparent

Comments

We're collecting 61MP RGB, LiDAR (DSM DTM) and radiometric thermal for sensors

We're thinking of flying at ~150' AGL or ~100' ATO at over 20 mph to collect data when automated. There's trade offs between effective speed, localized navigation, and mission planning. It's just challenging to build fully automated systems, but generally speaking flying higher and faster is more efficient and safer (also helps with command-and-control links)
