Vineyard Study
September 10th, 2015
This survey was flown by one of our customers over a grape winery using his fixed wing UAV at about max legal USA altitude (400ft). Fixed wings have to fly faster than a multi-rotor to stay airborne and he was still able to get good overlap flying at 10m/s (recommended for this altitude is typically 8.5m/s or slower). Reducing side overlap and making more survey passes is recommended if your UAV cannot fly our recommended maximum speed of 1.5m/s (5f/s) per 20m (65ft) altitude.
