How Drone Technology Could Help Save the World

1. How Drone Technology Could Help Save the World Anyone familiar with the best drone parts and technology in the industry, from octocopter motors to RC propellers, is familiar with XOAR. What is perhaps less well-known is that drones can actively contribute to improving the world in a number of ways. And where drone technology used for the power of good goes, XOAR can play a powerful role. What follows are some of the ways in which drone technology can and is bettering the world, as well as some useful parts XOAR produces, worth considering when working toward these endeavors. Drones Discovering “Extinct” Life Botanists and biologists in Hawaii and around the world were disheartened in 2009 when the beautiful flower, hibiscus relative hibiscadelphus woodii, identified just in 1991, went extinct. That is until a group of researchers on the island of Kauai, working for the National Tropical Botanical Garden, were elated to discover h. woodii alive, well, and apparently thriving. It was growing on some inaccessible cliffs, protecting it from the trampling of human beings and the appetites of goats. While human beings couldn’t survey the landscape directly, drones managed it handily. Drones Saving Lives Drone technology is expanding in all directions. While XOAR offers drone propellers and motors for UAVs from the smallest commercial models to octocopters (with even more in the works), drone experimentation has moved into both the very big and very small. Among the bigger projects is a fully automated flying ambulance from Urban Aeronautics. Their ambulance

An autonomous flying ambulance could prove an enormous benefit for rescues from challenging terrain, including combat extraction and search and rescue missions. Drones Farming Speaking of the smallest drones, in the face of threats like climate change and the Colony Collapse Disorder threatening bees, scientists around the world have been working on insect- sized drones as pollinators to conserve crops. Researchers in the UK have also been working on drones for agriculture, specifically the Hands Free Hectare project being carried out by researchers from Harper Adams University. They’ve successfully used drones to harvest around five tons of spring barley, without any actual human labor involved. Not only that, but every step of the process, including sowing, depositing fertilizer, sample collection, and the harvest, was done with UAVs alone. Autonomous drone farming could serve as a terrific improver of agricultural yield as populations increase. Saving the World’s Culture: Drones Uncovering Ancient Art If you own a UAV with a powerful XOAR drone motor and happen to live in Peru, take your drone out for a test flight over the landscape. That’s what archaeologists in the Palpa province of Peru did in 2018, and their flights uncovered new examples of massive geoglyphs worked into the ground. It’s believed they were created by the Paracas and Topará cultures between 500 B.C. and 200 A.D. So, drones can be used to save both people and their cultural achievements.
