2. HELICOPTER VS DRONE
DRONE THESES
DO’S & DON’T
FUTURE DRONE CASES TO THINK ABOUT
YOUR OWN DRONE CREATION
3. Helicopter vs. Drone
Helicopter
fly all directions, except backwards/upside down
wide space to land, at an airport or platform
long fly range [ fuel ]
manned board-control
high altitude [ best heli’s till 7000m ]
[ there was a record on 12000 in 1972 ]
Pilot Licence required
Drone
fly in all directions
less space to land, land almost everywhere
small fly range [ transmitter, battery, law ]
unmanned / distance-control
less altitude [ best military drones till 4500m ]
Pilot Licence not required
recently tested Dutch taxi drone
13. CASE 1 (TRANSPORTATION):
EVERY DAY A NUMBER OF
VANS OF PARCEL
DELIVERERS STOP IN A LOT
OF STREETS.
WHAT POSSIBILITIES DO YOU
SEE IN THE PACKAGE
TRANSPORT FOR DRONES?
14. DRONE
DELIVERY
EXPERIMENT
AMAZON drone experiment:
delivery within one hour
e.g. deliver icecream on a huge beach
Drones have legislation limits ( NL = max 50m altitude)
Drones carry max. 2,2 kg
Drones can not deliver many packages after each
other
Drone GPS is not that accurate at the moment
Drones can optimize most insufficient piece of the
transport chain
Drones do ‘same day delivery’

15. CASE 2
(INFRASTRUCTURE):
WE DRIVE ON LAND, SAIL
ON THE WATER AND FLY IN
THE AIR. OUR ROADS ARE
NOW QUITE FULL, OUR
RIVERS ARE BUSY AND IN
AIRSPACE IT IS A COMING
AND GOING OF PLANES.
HOW CAN DRONES HELP
MAKE MORE EFFICIENT USE
OF LAND, WATER AND AIR?
16. CASE 3 (HUMAN AID):
DISASTER AREAS ARE OFTEN
DIFFICULT TO REACH, CAUSING
HELP TO START LATE.
HOW CAN DRONES
HELP TO PROVIDE
FASTER ASSISTANCE?
17. DRONE
SWARMS
Swarms of programmable drones
Swarm drones have more power together
Swarm drones can do specifiek tasks at the
same time
Swarm drones make more noise
Swarms drones can command each other
18. CASE 4 (TECHNICALY):
BIG DRAWBACK OF DRONES
IS THE LIMITED FLIGHT
DISTANCE. LARGER
BATTERIES ARE HEAVIER
AND COST MORE ENERGY.
ON BALANCE, THIS DOES
NOT IMMEDIATELY YIELD A
PROFIT.
WHICH SOLUTIONS CAN YOU
THINK OF TO LET DRONES
FLY LONGER AND FURTHER?
19. Prototyping mini drones
Lego Drone: building & shaping
Mini Drone: very small,
but hard to control
Mindwave Drone: control with
your brain [ EEG ]
Arduino based Drone:
programm drones yourself
Camera Drone: stable to fly
and film from heights
20. My drone mailbox
How does the new drone mailbox look like?
Marker at your own lawn?
The back of your car?
Dropbox on your roof?
Code locked neighborhood container?
& following your phone coords
A reversed letterbox…
With clean energy you won’t need your chimney anymore…
