Drone Technology

Drone technology was one of the most expensive technologies inaccessible for most of the businesses. The advancement of technology has improved the development of drones and have made it much affordable than ever before. In present day, businesses are proceeding towards technology adaptation to transform their strategies. The drones were only known for the military usage but the usage is not limited to the same. There are several other business areas to where drone has made noticeable changes.

Aerial photography:

There are several places in our world’s geography which are not accessible due to some reasons, or few locations where we can’t reach at certain times. Earlier, capturing images of those remote locations was a tough task but now with the emergence of drone technology, aerial photography is serving all those purposes in lower cost than flying a helicopter to serve the same purpose.

The drone is becoming the hottest topic in the room and along with it is also tempting huge investments encouraging further advancements in drone technology.  The drone is an unnamed aerial vehicle that can fly over the sky and are incorporated with the cameras capable of capturing images and videos during its journey. The drone has been developed by a myriad of companies working in the robotics and aviation industry and there are several types of drones existing in today’s market with various features, sizes, and attributes. Most of the largest drones are used by the defense industries to regulate the privacy and security of the nation.

VTOL drones: 

The meaning of VTOL drones is the flying machines that can take off and land vertically. The VTOL drones can hover, take off, and land vertically. The advancements in technology are making the drone more compact that can be taken off from the palm of a hand.

Drones have got several names in the present technological era, such as a mini flying robot, unnamed aerial vehicles, mini pilotless aircraft, and more. Regardless of the name you call it, the drones are powering up very rapidly taking over most of the business industries. The defense is known to be untouched by most of the IT solutions but drones are the only element that has made strong and irreplaceable importance in the defense sector. The adoption of drone technology has not achieved a mass quantity but it has started transforming the traditional rigid solutions making it more technological.

History of drone technology:

The emergence of drone technology is dated back to two decades but the idea of drones or their commencement can be dated to world war1. The masterminds behind these unnamed aerial vehicles were from the U.S. and France.  But at that time this technology didn’t gain much popularity, but the significance of these drones has been noticed in recent years.

Drone is undoubtedly a technology which is benefiting various business sectors with a number of aspects. But the acceptance of drone technology is not as expected. Several businesses are trying to incorporate the power of drone technology to their operational activities with an intention to automate most of the tasks, but there are a few limitations adhered by the drones which are limiting the use of this powerful technology. Are you also an entrepreneur willing to step into the development of fully autonomous drone technology? Before stepping into a new sector you must first determine and analyze all the limitations so as to get prepared with the potential solutions. If you are willing to know all the limitations that can hinder your work process, then here we are going to discuss a few major challenges that are becoming the biggest issue in the development of drone industry.

• Limited flight endurance and payload capacity

With the present technologies, drones are able to take a flight only for 15-30 minutes. Further it requires recharging the battery, i.e. the lesser battery capacity is becoming one of the major issues.
