Drone Industry Insights

Photogrammetry uses 2D images to make what kind of measurements?

• 2D

• 3D

• 4D

• 1D

Critical Angle of Attack

• Must be met to produce sufficient lift.

• Is the angle at which drag is minimized.

• Is the angle at which an aircraft stalls.

• Is the angle that affects fuel efficiency.

Before take-off in GPS mode, a certain number of satellites must be acquired by the drone.

• 2 satellites are needed, but it is suggested to be connected to more.

• 3 satellites are needed, but it is suggested to be connected to more.

• Only 4 satellites are needed, but it is suggested to be connected to more.

• 5 satellites are needed, but it is suggested to be connected to more.

Drone photography is one of the fastest growing categories on Instagram

• True

• False

• Not sure

• Only in certain regions

Unique aspect of the drone industry

• Limited applications in agriculture

• Endless applications. Drones are still an emerging industry, but their applications are so varied.

• Strict regulations limiting their use

• High cost of entry for consumers

Application used for measurement above and below the earth's surface.

• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

• Volumetrics

• Remote Sensing

• Topographic Mapping

Many drones today have autopilot built into the flight controller

• True

• False

• Sometimes

• Only in military drones

Two different loops that microcontrollers operate on

• Inner and outer loop

• Fast and slow loop

• Primary and secondary loop

• Control and feedback loop

How a clock pulse is created in microcontrollers

• A clock pulse is created when regular vibrations of a quartz crystal are generated when voltage is introduced.

• A clock pulse is generated by the microcontroller's internal timer without any external components.

• A clock pulse is created by manually toggling a switch connected to the microcontroller.

• A clock pulse is generated by the microcontroller's power supply fluctuations.

Determining the health of a crop or various crops can be done through photosynthetic activity.

• The software attached to these drones can help in determining the photosynthetic activity of the crops.

• Photosynthetic activity can only be measured manually by farmers.

• Drones are not capable of assessing crop health.

• Photosynthetic activity is irrelevant to crop health.
