INTRODUCTION: In class we are looking at drones. Drones are an aircraft that does not have a pilot on board to control the aircraft. They can be controlled by a remote or a code. Drones are a modern day technology that was built for military but then soon expanded into using drones for other purposes.
Design Brief: Design a new use for drones that can benefit our everyday lives. You will have access to the Tello EDU drones and an iPad for piloting and coding the drone. You will need to research the drones physical limitations and safety precautions as a pilot, as well as Western Australian drone laws.
ANALYSE:
- the drone will meet the WA drone laws
- the drone will be controlled by an ipad for piloting and coding the drone
- tello edu will be used
- you will have to know the drones physical limitation
- will have to know the drones safety precautions
- they will benefit our everyday lives
Research of Exisiting Products
ambulance.
- to capture live events
- capture addresses by politicians
- concerts
- sporting events
- military
- outer space
Research of Tello EDU DRONE
physical limitations
- range of only 100 meters
- controlled on a phone not a remote
- the wifi has to be strong as thats how the drone is connected
Safety Considerations
- Don’t fly above reflective surfaces such as water or snow
- When has low battery land the drone immediately
Drone Laws in Western Australia
- You must not fly your drone higher than 120 metres
- keep your drone at least 30 metres away from other people
- only fly one drone at a time
- must keep your drone within visual line-of-sight.
