Lei Feng yesterday NET (search for "Lei feng's network", public interest) just introduced, UAVs can be used to deal with fires, today it has new features.
When the airplane through the sky and clouds, as it also comes with a certain amount of risk--was struck by lightning. For commercial aircraft, this happens about once a year, it wasn't a big deal, because aircraft structures can usually withstand such attacks. From 1962 to 2010 period, the United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is barely more than a track more than 10 accidents involving lightning hit the plane, and even some pilots simply didn't realize that their plane was hit by lightning.
However, this does not mean that Lightning will never cause damage to aircraft, the lightning could disrupt fuel valve, power supply feeders and power distribution system.
According to the Boeing Company, the most recognizable appearance of lightning damage to the aircraft are aircraft: small burn marks and holes, which means that manual checks of aircraft usually takes one day.
To reduce downtime, improve an airplane can have the money, the European budget airline easyJet (easyJet) is testing its new method for inspection of the aircraft: use automatic unmanned--RISER.
The drone is made by United Kingdom company Blue Bear Systems Research and Createc common research and development, the RISER was originally designed to measure radiation in a dangerous environment and mapping. Unmanned aerial vehicles have two-foot-wide, using a four-axis design, equipped with electro-optic sensors, light detection and ranging. It has the independent ability to avoid obstacles, it can even when there are things to interfere with the work, automatically avoided.
EasyJet, which stand no chance with approximately 3-foot intervals around the plane, no opportunities to uses the laser to determine distance and find damage caused by lightning strikes. EasyJet Ian Davies, head of the Engineering Department says: "using these emerging technology has liberated and digital team, they were able to take on more tasks that require technical support. "
This month, easyJet announced that they have successfully tested a drone effect and found can be finished in a few hours it used to take a whole day to check.
Express advantage airlines wanted the drones to put into use in less than a year in the whole of Europe, and believed that the drones can be used for transport of spare parts and other maintenance-related tasks.
