UAV Airspeed Estimation using Propeller Feedback

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have developed an analytical model that estimates fixed-wing UAV airspeed using only propeller power and rotational speed feedback from standard electronic speed controllers. This computationally efficient, model-free solution provides a practical alternative or redundancy to conventional Pitot tubes, achieving strong accuracy on real flight data.  The Challenge of Reliable […]

Advancing Road Inspections with Drones and AI

What if engineers could scan entire road networks from the air and spot damage early, quickly, and safely? With drones and AI working together, pavement inspection is beginning to move from boots on the ground to intelligence in the sky. Here’s how UAV imagery and the YOLOv7 deep learning model support faster, safer, and more
