Roswell Flight Test

The Roswell Flight Test Crew builds and flies (and crashes and repairs) home-made drone aircraft.

The show floor opens today @AUVSI #XPO22 -- great to be back, by the way -- forcing me to again ponder that eternal conundrum: What to wear? #drones

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

Great turnout for @CascadeAUVSI first in-person event since #COVID19 hit. We're in @BendOregon at the @RiverhouseBend talkin' #drones, #robots and more! @AUVSI

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

Last, but hardly least, from our time in #Vegas at @ExpoUAV: our friends at @foxfuryLED show off their multi-talented EXOLANDER system for @AutelRobotics and @DJI #drones. You can mount like 8,000 lights on it! https://t.co/5lgere17l1

@dronelaws Absolutely true and I'm anxious to try out the new #Nano from @AutelRobotics. However, the big question is: which manufacturer will be the first to release a sub-250 gram #drone with prop guards installed. That company wins the "Operations Over People Rule" prize.

Next up from @ExpoUAV, the @a2zdrones #drone delivery system. It can make #Delivery of a 5 pound package from 100 feet in 6 seconds. Might also be useful for #fishing. Maybe? https://t.co/RoFQkyPKxH

@AutelRobotics You go with that quote, out of all the phrases ever uttered in the English language, and that's the best image you can come up with!? Here, I fixed it for you... #Nano #Lite @AutelRobotics #drones

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

@TheDroneWarrior @FoxNews @foxandfriends To be illegal, something has to be against the law, and Congress has passed no law against agencies of the US government buying Chinese #drones. Also, some informed speculation I've seen suggests that they may have purchased them to study how they can be defeated. #sigh

@droneii @TheDroneGirl Although, according to @bwynne of @AUVSI, the strain put on #logistics by the pandemic was likely a net positive for the #drone and #autonomous systems industries. Check out my interview with him: https://t.co/XeX0GR9BD5

Can a #drone fly without propellers? The good folks @UndefinedTech say, "Yes!" They use ionic propulsion, although I think it might be #magic. Check this thing out from @ExpoUAV: https://t.co/EE5Nu2pJWf

@nvaerialmedia @BrincDrones @ExpoUAV Thanks! We're having fun! Yeah... @BrincDrones is a pretty incredible story! #drones

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

Check out @BrincDrones from @ExpoUAV in #LasVegas: a #drone built for SWAT to de-escalate barricaded suspect/hostage situations. Company went from zero to 55 employees in 9 months. They are doing something right, that's for sure! https://t.co/35hPoaAN1v

@adamlisberg Is it just me, or does that koala look a little nonplussed? Or, maybe just sleepy?

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

@mkorves And while you're waiting, check out this interview with FX Charbonnel from @Parrot about the AI, from the @ExpoUAV in Las Vegas: https://t.co/XdApax5p5K #drones

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

Next up from @ExpoUAV, the @BrincDrones Lemur #drone. Made specifically for SWAT teams, it is designed to fly indoors and make peaceful contact with a barricaded suspect or hostage taker. https://t.co/35hPoaAN1v

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

Next up from @ExpoUAV, the @AutelRobotics EVO II Enterprise #drone: interchangeable thermal and visible light payloads, plus searchlight, speaker, strobe and an RTK module. Check it out: https://t.co/M08mCdfcJz

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

@droneanalyst @modelaircraft @dronelaws Well, I wouldn't deny for a second that #drone hobbyists and @modelaircraft enthusiasts need more allies, but painting Brendan Schulman as their sole advocate would itself seem to be a little bit of Twitter over-exaggeration... #IFLYAMA

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

@AlienDrones @AutelRobotics @Dji I suppose it all depends how far down the development path @AutelRobotics was when the OOP rule was announced. Was it early enough they could shave off 30 grams to cover the weight of prop guards? If they did, I'm buying one of these #drones on day 1!

[Roswell Flight Test @RoswellFTC]

Direct from @ExpoUAV, it's our first look at the @Parrot Anafi AI #drone. Fully integrated with @Verizon @SkywardIO 4G for seamless connectivity and direct data uploading to the #cloud. Just one question: why does it look so peculiar? https://t.co/XdApax5p5K
