Yes I agree with you but you are point out the existance of low weight packages while I would say that cost is a more important constraint for drones. I guess users can argue with …

What we really miss is an ADS-B low-cost variant for drones. Safety requirements are different if ones takes into account the unmanned characteristic of drones. Furthermore it will…

This is pure marketing-driven engineering. Not a bad thing per-se but they should start considering also a more pragmatic approach. They should pick a form-factor that can be futur…

Yes, this is a must. I wonder if industrial greenhouses could benefit from some sort of induced day-night cycles and thermal gradients to cuddle the little plants. Maybe it will al…
