10 Passenger Drones and Vertical Take-off and Landing Aircraft.

Passenger drones, also known as autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) or vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircrafts, are a type of drone designed to carry passengers. These drones work by using a combination of advanced technologies and algorithms, including:

  1. Control systems: Passenger drones are equipped with advanced control systems that enable them to navigate and maintain stability in the air. These systems use a combination of sensors, such as GPS, cameras, and lidar, to gather data on the drone’s location and the surrounding environment.
  2. Navigation: Passenger drones use advanced navigation algorithms to plan and execute safe, efficient routes. These algorithms take into account factors such as weather conditions, terrain, and airspace regulations to ensure the safety of the passengers and other aircrafts.
  3. Propulsion: Passenger drones use multiple rotors or propellers to generate lift and move through the air. They can use electric or combustion engines to power these rotors or propellers. Some passenger drones are also hybrid, meaning they use both electric and combustion power.
  4. Autonomy: Passenger drones are equipped with advanced autonomy systems that enable them to operate without human input. This includes sensors and algorithms that allow the drone to detect and avoid obstacles, and systems that allow the drone to make decisions based on real-time data.

Quotes about drones and innovation.

  • “I don’t feel that this concept of disruptive technology is the solution for everybody. But I think it’s very important for innovators to understand what we’ve learned about established companies’ motivation to target obvious profitable markets – and about their inability to find emerging ones. The evidence is just overwhelming.” ~ Clayton Christensen
  • “Deep Learning will change the lives of all of us.  What is Deep Learning?  It’s behind what makes self-driving cars a reality.”  ~Dave Waters
  • “Connectivity offers a great opportunity for General Motors. When you look at the investment we have made in OnStar and putting 4GLT in and the access you have to not only put data in, and we haven’t really tapped into the data you can use from the vehicle.” ~Mary Barra, GM CEO.
  • “Excellent firms don’t believe in excellence – only in constant improvement and constant change.” ~ Tom Peters
  • “What are your thoughts? Buzzword bingo or the future of supply chain? IoT, drones, deep learning, big data, virtual reality…” ~EverythingSupplyChain.com
  • “Residential drone delivery is being tested by a variety of companies.  From delivering packages to delivering pizza, drone delivery is in the near future.” ~SupplyChainToday.com.
  • “Don’t let the digital supply chain scare you. Big Data, IoT, Cloud, AI, Drones and Deep Learning are just ways to improve the supply chain.” ~SupplyChainToday.com.

“Although still in its infancy, drone technology will be a game changer in supply chain.” ~SupplyChainToday.com
