Drones enter the mass market

The drone is referred to as “unmanned aerial vehicle” and its abbreviation is “UAV”. It is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by radio remote control equipment and a self-provided program control device. Generally, it is divided into three categories: unmanned helicopters, no Fixed-wing aircraft, no one multi-rotor aircraft. In the past two years, the drones were no match for the moment, presumably because it turned from a military killer that was thousands of miles away in the movie screen into a dumb consumer electronics product that even children can control. What's more, there is the famous Wang Feng teacher to use it to propose marriage, but also increases its exposure and practicality. Today, let's talk about drones.

UAVs first appeared after World War I. The first generation was mainly based on reconnaissance aircraft. Now some military drones have been equipped with weapons. However, what does this have to do with us? Most people know and care about drones from Amazon's intention to use drone delivery. Since then, multi-rotor drones have entered the vision of ordinary people.

U.S. media said that in addition to Amazon's use of drones to deliver express delivery, U.S. farmer circles have now become popular with drones, mainly for the inspection of farmland, spraying, and irrigation network monitoring. It is said that it can greatly save manpower and Fuel cost.

In addition, drones can also transport medical supplies in traffic-congested cities, search in harsh environments, replace shooting screens on the battlefield, monitor and patrol instead of the police, aerialize television programs, and follow stars with the paparazzi.

However, these are commercial functions. For ordinary people, especially Chinese, what can drones do for?

Yang Zhenquan, co-founder of Yihang, a manufacturer of civilian drones, said that the stickiness of overseas, especially European and American users, is much higher than that of China, which is due to differences in lifestyle and living space. In Europe and the United States, many people love to go outdoors, and almost all of them have a yard at home. They can give drones the space to take off and land. The control of low-altitude flights abroad is not so strict in China. "For instance, Beijing, its management can not fly." Yang Zhenquan laughed very helplessly. However, he is optimistic about the future of drones. In his view, there is no way to stop the development of science and technology, and it is even more impossible for people to waste food. People and society must adapt to the development of science and technology.

With drones to aerial landscape, this is the most important use of consumer drones. However, Yang Zhenquan believes that in the future, C2C's delivery will be an opportunity for drones to show their skills. For example, let's send something to a friend right now. You can walk or ride a bike in the distance. You must drive a car in the distance, or choose the same city express. With drones, drones can be used instead of people to deliver.

For the drone to enter the female market, it is certainly not enough to rely on color to please. As a consumer drone, it must be easy to operate, with high security and stability, and at the same time it must be closely integrated with the Internet ecosystem to truly become an “arcade”.

The pure handset control of Yihang’s GHOST drone is an attempt to reduce the operating threshold. Ghost allows people to directly use the gravity sensing of the mobile phone to control the direction and speed of the aircraft. It is also possible to directly set two positions on the map so that the drone can fly from A to B, avoiding manual operations. stability. Yang Zhenquan said that only by manipulating mobile phones can it truly integrate into the entire Internet ecosystem.

In addition, the government has not opened up low altitude areas for safety reasons. However, Yang Quanquan said that this can be resolved with the development of technology. For example, when an area cannot fly for security, each airplane in the Airline has an ID, and all aircraft can be immediately set to fail to fly to the relevant area.
