China is the country par excellence when it comes to putting on a drone show. We’ve seen them in formation by the thousands, creating QR codes and setting records. But as impressive as they are, they can also fail like any other technology. At a recent exhibition it happened a suddenly drones rained from the sky.
It looked like something out of a Pixar movie. Traditional messaging was no longer (so) necessary, and instead of guys on motorbikes or vans, drones would deliver packages to your home. Drones flying in harmony everywhere. That was Amazon’s dream, but it doesn’t seem to be going well. At least that’s what’s happening in the … Read more
Jetpacks and all kinds of gadgets that allow people to fly are becoming more and more common. They are used for stunts, used by rescue teams… they are becoming more and more popular. Now a new idea has appeared combination of jetpacks and drones: CopterPack.
It happened at Christmas at London’s second largest airport, and now it is Heathrow, the most important airport in the British capital, which had to stop its departure flights. According to they announcedis a response as a precautionary measure to possible sightings of drones flying over near the airport.
Drones have proven to have huge potential for areas such as transport or logistics, but also pose threats such as terrorist attacks. In Turkey, they know this well and already have soldiers specialized in shooting down drones: They are “drone jammers”.
These soldiers do not have conventional weapons, but rather They use radio frequency rifles which emit signals that disrupt the quadcopter’s data transmission with its control center. The Turkish military has come to rely on this type of weapon to protect itself against drones armed with bombs, which the terrorist organization PKK threatens various public events with.
Racing cars drifting at speeds of more than 300 km/h while we are immersed in the smoke of their tires burning on the tarmac. The most impressive part of it all is that we are there, just inches away from the action where the cars compete to be the best at drifting.
The above might seem like a synopsis of the next “Forza” game, but it’s actually a video that is fascinating everyone right now, where photographer and drone pilot Johnny Schaer, better known as Johnny FPV, who tells us, shows off his skills on fly a racing drone and film a Formula Drift competition with a GoPro HERO7.
According to data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) between April and June of this year 2018 Commercial airline pilots have reported sightings of nearly 800 drones.

Connect a drone, a busy intersection in any city and an algorithm based on neural networks and you can achieve surprising results.
This is exactly what DataFromSky, a specialist company, is responsible for real-time video analysis taken by drones which is able to identify vehicles, speeds and trajectories.
