AUTONOMOUS FLIGHT

Modern remote control mini helicopters can now be fitted for full autonomous flight! This means little or no pilot skills are needed, as a fail safe system will take over and keep the helicopter in the air if necessary (overrides are possible, of course, for stunts or 'on the edge' mission flying).

This latest development means unmanned helicopters can now undertake automated missions, like area patrol, surveillance, pipeline pre-maintenance observation or

missions in unaccessible terrain. Excellent for wild life camera observation in the jungle or natural preserves, environmental and fire surveillance, or of course for tactical and reconnaissance operations, like border patrol. Or the fight against drugs. Dutch police are already using mini helis to detect canabis plantations. In the event of accidental or provoked crash unmanned flight of minihelicopters saves lives and al lot of financial investment.
