How to rationally Lily UAV s advantages and disadvantages

Today named Lily drones fire suddenly burst, I by many Twitter users at, many friends sent me the app, I see investors at.

I, as an ongoing unmanned aerial vehicle research and development practitioners, briefly, how I see the plane.

(Note, the following views only Han Lu view and does not represent the spark science and technology views)

First look video:

Video about Lily aircraft features:

1. waterproof

2. throw automatically stable fly

3. automatically follow the beacons on the wrist, no remote control

4. hand landed

5. do not change batteries, flight time 20 minutes

6. propeller fold

1080P and 720P video recording, which doesn't count function points to a, this is the most basic aerial aircraft functions.

And several things that didn't tell you in the video:

1. this aircraft's camera does not have a physical mechanical multi-axis stabilized pan/tilt

2. the augmentation is by electronic algorithms of image

I conclusion: this Lily generation products cannot be bought, is mature enough.

I didn't mean to black the other products you see my analysis:

1. waterproof of needs is good, but because waterproof, led to not for battery, aircraft only fly 15-20 minutes, took off Hou, you just touch clear operation on have landed has, you out play day, with used has airlines took aircraft, many scene and picture you are wants to play play, but this cannot for battery is cruel of will you time limit in not to 20 minutes, zhihou you on have put aircraft took home in or in car in configuration inverse variable device to it charging, and charging most at least 2 hours Hou to continues to using, This is too cruel for UAV applications, it is against the natural (fly out a battery, in Exchange for a piece of this is the most fundamental experienced). Battery life is short of UAV industry panels, or Exchange the battery causes the short Board was severely amplified. To my understanding, I would rather sacrifice waterproofing, but also must be made to change the battery design. (I think Lily this minor in order to satisfy water demand mainly needs to wreck the aircraft)

2. hand throw takes off, we pay attention to a few details, threw all hands took off link in aircraft have enough down the free floor space, such as a snow scene, threw the plane was high up, such as the scene be thrown off a bridge, even if it is three old ladies, thrown out of the plane when, the following is a slope. This means what? Aircraft needs to be high enough, enough time to react.

Throw off, not a barrier technology, accelerometers to monitor in standby the vertical acceleration data exceeds a certain threshold value, starts the plane, aircraft needed time to stabilize after calculation, after commanding the propeller aircraft attitude, and then climb up to throttle, complete hand threw off. The whole process takes about 1-1.5 seconds, this time, the aircraft would free fall height of 1.5-2.5 m. Which is why the video DEMO was thrown out in a highly enough.

Ordinary people know hand thrown off, he doesn't know a height difference, I 175cm height above the diagonal throw Probably can easily to aircraft threw to 2.5-3 meters height, such aircraft on has enough height completed started-stable-rose of action, if I level threw out, aircraft in not to 1.75 meters of free fall height fundamental completed can't these action, directly fell has, again if some people again stared blankly b points, is inadvertently of readily not hard on threw out, aircraft directly towards oblique below was threw out, aircraft available free fall height basic also on 1 meters not to, if under is grass or water OK, if is hard to, aircraft certainly injured.

Hand throwing function is cool enough, but the working height is required, as the hardware factory, these points must be realized, not only in order to dazzle, the future users to fix smashed shell of Hula, who can't take it anymore. (I think the throwing hand taking off, as a gimmick, 100 minutes, but given the practical application user actions and later possible aircraft damage risks to users, high risk)

3. this aircraft not with physical of camera stable cloud Taiwan, led to video set is by electronic algorithm for stable of, electronic algorithm of stable degree first not on, on on electronic algorithm stable on quality of impairment, for example is recorded of 1080P size, but in stable process in the, video need was significantly of reduced quality, used to reached tie algorithm stable, this electronic algorithm stable out of picture, picture more stable, quality more miserable, most serious state, almost picture any details are no, Leaves was all black like Chinese ink painting, export to watch on TV. Simply put: the video I can't use it, watch a video, but not for any sharing and publishing. (I think this is to fall the physical stability of the shell as a whole and do not configure PTZ, result in quality loss)

4. Palm landed also not barriers function, to dazzle, but slightly control bad, propeller on will playing to arm, especially children if also using, arm itself on broken, propeller sweep to + hit eye probability on big many, if hit on burst has, so as let aircraft away from body landed, is I of on security of understanding, see Lliy aircraft so do, I is is not understanding. (I think this is a standard stunt features, the risk is greater than the utility) Marcelo Burlon iPhone 6+ case Marcelo Burlon iPhone 6+ case

Forwards because Lily aircraft today are a lot, a lot of first contact and their see drone friends were impressed, but we still have to see this product of the rational and objective.

I believe that Lily's second generation products will solve the 4 points mentioned above, when is a good time to everyone out.
