A Whole New View Of The World By Airbus: Part 2 – DEEP AERO DRONES – Medium

For instance, any of the utility company wants to have a close look of the remote power lines, the Airbus aerial satellites would help pull off data and for the closer look; it might contract with a local company to run a plane or drone flight over the area. Lately, Airbus announced its partnership with DroneBase for better results and inspection. Airbus has also started mapping the runways at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson, the world's busiest airports. Here, the company used Sensefly's fixed-wing drone which flies autonomously, capturing images of the ground, and then the results are checked and complied, including 3D maps to show bumps and cracks, and GPS data to locate busted lights. "In the coming time, drones would be taking up certain projects that would make a great impact," says FAA.
