  • What it's like to fly a drone in Antarctica
    May 19 2024

    It was the best experience of her life. In this episode of "Props Clear," Windracers Fleet Manager Rebecca Toomey talks about her time in Antarctica with the ULTRA drone.

    UK-based Windracers worked closely with the British Antarctic Survey flying the drone nearly 450 miles collecting data during the flight to help analyze environmental changes. The ULTRA has a special autopilot system called Masterless, which reduces single points of failure. One cool fact about the ULTRA--it's designed to fit in a 20-foot container.

    Part of Toomey's job is ground control station operator, which involves planning and uploading the mission. Toomey also talked about living at the Rothera Research Station, including being fed five times a day to keep warm, and getting lots of gear to withstand the conditions.

  • Meet the woman educating the world about aviation
    May 18 2024

    Heather Monthie is on a mission to be the "most helpful person on the Internet about the UAS industry". She's reached more than 100 countries with her aviation education videos, and she's not stopping there. One of her many goals is to find a way to connect with a scientist or someone who uses a drone on Antarctica since she's connected with people on the other six continents.

    Monthie is the founder of Educators Who Drone and Electric Monarch Drone Education. She's been a pilot since 1997, and an instructor pilot since 2002.

    Jillian talks with Monthie about where her passion for flying started--she can pinpoint the moment she was hooked. She also offers advice to anyone looking to jumpstart into a career in emerging technology.

    Happy listening!

  • Sky Robots on Patrol
    May 15 2024

    We're talking security in the sky with LandSkyAI.

    Jillian Angeline talks with Jake Shild, CEO of the security company. LandSkyAI offers a drone-in-a-box solution for security and surveillance needs. The system can go airborne within 5 seconds when needed, and can be deployed up to 250 times in one day.

    "When we're talking about drones and security, we're really focused on the automation of the systems and how we can actually get it so that almost like a virtual guard scenario where they could either augment the ability of the guards on site or they could save some shifts can't be covered. Maybe it's night shifts," Shild tells Jillian.

    Jillian also chats with Jake about future goals for the company, including improving communication systems with clients and integrating more of their own video analytics systems. Just think of it like a personal airborne security system to improve peace of mind.
