1 Mile Autonomous Flight During Snowstorm
FreeBird One can run automated missions whenever you need it to.
In this clip, FreeBird One executes a 1-mile loop autonomously after a manual takeoff.
FreeBird One climbs to 325 feet and then flies to a series of waypoints at 22 MPH.
Despite snow and 15-25MPH winds, FreeBird One held its altitude to within 3 feet of its target and speed to within 2MPH of its target throughout the flight.
After passing through all of the waypoints, FreeBird One flew back to its launch position and descended to the ground on its own.
FreeBird One remained within line-of-sight the entire time, and despite the snow and distance (up to 3,000 feet away and 325 feet high, the bright LED navigation lights and large frame profile made FreeBird One easily visible.
