      @@gamesman0118 a quick internet search resulted in that you need about a cubic meter (0,933) of gas to lift a kilogram, so let's asume the plane is a kilogram, and the payload as well, that allready needs 2 cubic meters of gas. The gas container also weighs something and needs to be safe so it will go closer to 3 cubic meters probably. Then, the plane needs to land in ppls driveways or backyards, manouver around trees and streetlights and whatnot... This is a nogo I asume.

      You guys need to go higher. Under 400ft there’s little room for error. Try 800 - 1200ft it’s as if the aircraft enters a different dimension of sound up there.

    • @harvey66616
      @harvey66616 6 днів тому +2

      True, but I think the statement was really meant to say you won't mind noise at your neighbors because it's the same system that often delivers to you. At least, that's how I took it.
      Noise is always going to be an issue, and everyone perceives it differently. For now though, I would welcome these drones, even the noisy ones, because they are still quieter than the gas-powered trucks they would replace.
      Even after the entire terrestrial fleet is replaced with electric trucks, the other big benefit I see to these drones is that they won't be racing around my neighborhood streets the way the truck drivers do, endangering people and wearing out the road (some of which is gravel, and so particularly quick and easy to damage by speeding).
      Honestly, while I have my qualms about filling the skies with thousands of these delivery drones, I think there's a lot of ways that they are just inherently better for the public than trucks, and that would justify not even worrying too much about the whole noise question. So I'm impressed that they are doing a lot of work to resolve concerns about that too.

    A conflicting video for me. On one hand, this is an amazing episode: watching calm, rational, intelligent folks discuss a subject aligned with my interests is delightful!
    On the other hand I feel like an old man yelling at clouds... drone delivery is intrusive even if it's silent. The drones will become ubiquitous to the point of annoying and then fade into the background, possibly like how cars at first were. And then when we adapt to their presence it's just One. More. Thing. that's breaking up the space available to seek solace.
    All in the chase of money.

      _"drone delivery is intrusive even if it's silent."_ -- true, but then so is delivery in general.

  • @timogul

    I almost feel like these things should have little sound systems on them that actually broadcast music, because you can't make them less loud, but you can make them less annoying. I wonder how light you could make an audio system that would broadcast frequencies that would harmonize with the propellers in a way that left the result much more pleasant.

    So when will it fly itself? I still would find the sound annoying if I was in my backyard. For delivery to places like hospitals or for working in disaster zones delivering supplies. I just can imagine not needing gps, and using the location of the sun and landmarks for them to deliver like honeybees. Could imagine just turning on the other propellers just for a second or two during flight might pull it away from a collision or gunfire. curious if they have the option to swap out batteries like you would for a battery powered tool.

    • @WafflePlaneRC
      @WafflePlaneRC 9 днів тому +2

      "When will it fly itself?" It already does. With enough dedication to the configuration, even a diy hobbyist drone can perform an entire flight from takeoff to landing without input from an operator. The only reason a company like Wing would have a "pilot" overseeing the operation is for legal requirements, the FAA does not like fully autonomous systems.
      While visual landmark navigation may certainly be possible with the advancement of ai vision systems, there's simply little need for it. GPS relies only on the existence of the satellites to function, it does not matter if it's in a disaster zone or not. The only time GPS becomes unusable is if someone decides to jam the radio frequency that the satellites are transmitting on.
      Dodging gunfire is a rather difficult thing, bullets are very small and very fast. Tracking them from far enough out to be able to dodge it is a tall ask with current tech. Avoiding collisions, however, is very much already in current use via AI vision systems from companies like Iris Automation.
      The batteries on all drones are swappable, it'd be silly if they weren't. I don't know if these click into place like the ones on a power tool, but that's a simple matter of mechanical engineering to make it that way if minimizing turnaround times is a priority over the weight savings of not having that system.

  • @RoadHead62

  • @-7070
    @-7070 9 днів тому +5

    I'm curious why they didn't go with a design more similar to an Osprey, I feel like it would be more efficient and aerodynamic then having seperate propellers at the top causing more air resistance. Still cool regardless tho

    • @WafflePlaneRC
      @WafflePlaneRC 9 днів тому +11

      "Tiltrotors" as they are known are, for lack of a better term, a total pain in the ass. The osprey does it by being two entire helicopters in a tilting trenchcoat: each rotor has it's own independent cyclic controls to adjust propeller pitch and directional thrust. So complicated! So fragile!
      There's a simpler way of doing it, a so called "quadplane" where it has four rotors but only the front two must tilt. This allows you to use simpler motors and propellers, they can be basic fixed pitch stuff like the ones on these Wing drones. The tradeoffs are, you still have two dead motors to carry in forward flight, the front propellers must be halfway optimized for both hover (static thrust) and forward flight (dynamic thrust), the transition between the two modes of flight is a much more complex problem as the tilting motors are having to handle double duty at that moment, and from a reliability perspective any failure on a tilting motor means immediate termination of flight (ie, crashing).
      Some drone companies do go with the tilting quadplane style, but I think it's a complicated compromise with little actual benefit.

    • @HumbleWooper
      @HumbleWooper 6 днів тому +1

      Good question! You're right, blimps and other balloon-style aircraft *are* the quietest man-made aircraft. My guess is they went with wings and propellers for maneuverability or wind resistance reasons. Though blimps are very quiet, they turn slowly and can get pushed off course much more easily by the wind.
      Flying along with the wind a blimp could likely get close to the speed of a drone, and do it almost silently. But flying across or against a strong wind current they'd go much slower compared to winged aircraft. And for a delivery service like this to fulfill customer orders all over an area, they need aircraft that can go any direction from the launch site as quickly and efficiently as possible, and also return to home base quickly for the next load.

    I'm still not seeing a common use for these particular aircraft. I can see certain use cases like delivering medicine or cases where urgency is important. I don't envision these being used for delivering groceries or even fast food. I think the support and packaging issues will make them impractical. They're too small to deliver a weekly grocery order and too complicated and risky for a $5 dollar purchase. I think it is easier to load up a truck with many orders and deliver them to the neighborhood. Drones require good weather, charging, flight planning, packaging of the item and more. This is early in the development process so maybe as the platforms evolve it will make more sense. We had a couple of Walmart stores using drones near us. I saw them routinely shut down for weather and nobody was using them. I'm sure drones are in our future, but I think it will take a big step from what we are seeing in this video.

Any unmanned drone I will never trust for any reason but there could be an acceptation such as a person setting up way points. Such as to help a farmer survey their farm land as one example.

      @@davect01 Right. Because motor vehicles _never_ have failures that result in the vehicle leaving the roadway and/or colliding with persons or property.
      Also, you seem to be under the impression that a delivery drone is just going to plummet uncontrollably if it fails. Even if it does, I would much rather be hit by a falling delivery drone weighing a few pounds than a 10 ton truck. But beyond that, barring a complete failure of the control systems, which is highly unlikely, a drone can simply glide to a landing if its propulsion fails.
      These are solvable problems. Drones don't come without risk, but they are hardly insurmountable, nor dramatically worse than what we live with today.

    Would be cool if you could shine the light on the other end of this: the FAA/Amazon/etc is legislating the Rc plane hobby out of existence because of “drones” all to free up the airspace we occupy for this hypothetical unproven business that will only work in the ideal weather. All the balsa kit makers and tinkerers are being forced to comply with rules and regulations when an Rc plane never caused any of the problems they cite for these laws. I hope no commercial drone delivery service ever becomes successful

      Having lived on both sides of this argument, as an RC hobbyist and former drone company employee... I think the FAA hates everyone pretty equally. Just as they make it hard for hobbyists to enjoy a safe recreation, they also make it very hard for drone companies to provide actually useful services or easily scale, due to BVLOS rules and RPIC requirements.

      Somebody else asked the question and another person answered better than I could, but I'm going to anyways. The thing about the Osprey - as awesome as it is - it's a very complicated bit of machine. More complexity = more points of failure, and they are trickier to fly. Simplicity and a bit of redundancy is a better call for something like delivery drones. (Oh, and also someone from Wing already answered also. Oh well, I'm leaving my thoughts here also.)

    Definitely not imperceptible. And when it actually gets close it's hella annoying. Unless they improve this further I can't see this being implemented for real life applications. Aren't toroidal propellers way better suited for this sort of work? From what I know they are at least quieter. As for thrust and such I have not educated myself yet.
    I'm very intrigued by the research, and look forward to any new innovations and progress made in this field. Definitely the future once all the kinks are worked out.
