Turning our production efforts from drones to medical supplies. We're looking for partners to help get these, & other medical equipment we can manufacture, to where they need to go--especially in Gainesville & New York. Hospital tested. Please reach out and stay healthy! #covid19
Christmas Flight with Dad in the A36.
Fun ride to London and back.....Kentucky that is. #beechcraftbonanza#hixsonaviation @ Dallas Bay Skypark https://t.co/adHpXic9F3
Great profile from Forbes on our origins and history. From the MAV lab at @UFWertheim to the entrepreneurship program with @UFOTL and to our new facilities today.

What regulation, technical leaps, and upgrades are needed to put your #drone into the national airspace?
To adopt #BVLOS operations, there are 3 requirements: detect-and-avoid technology, robust communication systems, and airworthiness certification.

It's been pretty hot this month in Florida (when not raining), but even our temperatures don't compare to flying #drones in Death Valley.

We are super happy for R.A. Smith to be flying the Altus UAS LRX. They have consistently been innovators and always strive to bring new tools and technology to their clients. Also we want to... https://t.co/VNrCHzVD4u
Finally, if you're interested in the specs of the Nova itself, you can read about the full physical dimensions of the Nova here in our knowledge base. Thanks for reading the thread, if you have any questions or comments just @ us.

Mass and traditional control surfaces play an important role in wind penetration. V-tails and and ailerons help handle wind, but having a solid carbon fiber chassis provides a lot of stability too, as shown in this article on flights on the Great Plains.

Talking about some hardware today in a #TechThursday thread. First up is our blog on the benefit of using composite materials in the production of #drones, especially the Nova. Mass is good--as are traditional control surfaces.

Rainy weather in Florida today. Going to need a break in the steady downpour if we're not going to be grounded. Anyone else with better weather that'll be flying? Time to get to work.
Systems that have architecture that is open to local processing, rather than processing in the cloud, can be inherently more secure and don't need an "off" button. Who's really looking at your data in the cloud?

Ailerons - Maintain roll stability
Flaps - Increase lift and drag for takeoff and landing; lowers the aircraft stall speed
Ruddervator - V-tail control maintains pitch and yaw stability
