Drone can save lives now

Australia time 10 a.m. on January 18, 16-year-old Monty Greenslade and 17-year-old Gabe Vidlerwere swimming by the coast of Lennox Head, New South Wales (NSW), and unfortunately washed away by the waves. Fortunately, two teenage girls found them struggling in the sea. The two boys were trapped by a 10-foot-high ocean wave, and the boats were unable to get near them, but eventually, a drone took off and sent them an inflatable life-saving device to save them.

FPV Quadcopter has recorded this whole scene - the remote drone flew to the top of two boys and dropped an inflatable life-saving device, and landed the inflatable rescue pod within their reach. The drone took the life-saving device to them in less than 35 seconds. They clutched the life-saving device and were washed back to the shore by the waves, and finally, the lifeguard saved them.

The two boys were completely safe now except for fatigue. Ben Trollope, chief search and rescue drone operating officer of Westpac Little Ripper, claimed: "Two teenage girls called the Coast Command and we sent a rescue squad. The device was inflated in seconds. "

Team CEO Eddie Bennet said: "UAS technology has been developed for three years to ensure the world's first rescue mission is completed and the rescue of two boys trapped in a 3-meter-high ocean wave clearly demonstrates the benefits of this cutting-edge technology in such a time-critical emergency, which can be said as a huge success of drone rescue and Australia is ahead of the world in this technology. "

In December 2017, the state government bought more than $ 430,000 to buy several drones. In addition to life-saving RC Quadcopter equipped with life-saving float, alarm system and loudspeaker, a part of the drones are specially designed to detect offshore sharks to ensure the safety of surfing people.

Here is everything you want to know about the FPV quadcopter competition(part 2)

UAV game overview

1. With the support of ESPN, GoPro, Mountain Dew and other major investors, the major quadcopter leagues are growing and growing. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle League currently holds eight million investments. The opener was held in February 2016 at the New Miami Amphitheater in Dolphin. Moreover, more and more money is spent in developing new rc quadcopter kit.

2. The latest DR1 series was released this summer, and they started the opening game at the Sepulveda Dam in Los Angeles, hosted by Mountain Dew and broadcast live on Twitch. DR1 also has a partnership with the MultiGP UAV game alliance, which has more than seven hundred races, attracting more than a thousand players.

3.Local organizations often organize some regional UAV races. One of the most famous events is the Xtreme Drone Circuit in Las Vegas, which includes exciting items such as leapfrogs, and the Multi Rotor Parts will have more features. On September 9th, it will host the third tournament with a prize of $ 10,000.

UAV games regulations

1. On August 29, 2014, the 107 regulations, which we looked forward to for a long time, came into effect, allowing people to install independent visual equipment on commercial unmanned aerial vehicles, allowing the player to use the FPV system. At the same time, Section 107 also limits the use of unmanned aerial vehicles by those who are not involved in UAV operations.

2. Indoor events are not subject to the Federal Aviation Administration regulations. At present, UAVs are held in indoor buildings such as abandoned shopping malls.

Looking to the future

Participants, businesses, and investors both want this new event to develop along the track of competitive games. In 2016, this event will bring up to $ 433 million in revenue.

Individual players want to be famous on YouTube or a popular video site among players called Airvuz by uploading videos. Charpu is the owner of the video channel Carlos Puertolas, and now he has the most fans on YouTube. Last year he went to the Times magazine.

The purpose of the UAV game course is about to go online. The Flying Federation, built in San Francisco, has organized the "Darq Traq" program in innovative suitcases. DJI, the world's largest consumer unmanned aerial vehicle maker, also opened an area of 15,000 square feet of unmanned aerial vehicle FPV Quadcopter racing practicing area in Seoul in mid-August.

We can predict, but also look forward to, FPV Quadcopter sports competition in the future will have a better development.
