Sarah Baig from Vertiq discusses how the company’s innovative position sensor allows for accurate propeller alignment during flight and landing, providing critically important advantages for drone-in-a-box manufacturers by enabling a more compact design.
Vertiq collaborates with various drone-in-a-box manufacturers. A key advantage of our technology is the position sensor, which facilitates precise alignment of propellers both during flight and upon landing. When a drone descends onto its docking platform, it can automatically adjust its propellers to the optimal orientation. This capability allows our clients to significantly decrease the dimensions of the box, enhancing space efficiency and simplifying transportation logistics.
to illustrate this concept, consider the following example. The red box represents a conservative design approach, which companies must adopt when they lack knowledge about the propeller orientation as the drone approaches the box. In contrast, the blue box leverages the propeller positioning feature, enabling the propellers to align optimally after landing. In this simplified scenario, we can achieve a 24% reduction in box size.
