Hello all Will drones be of use in NPP operations ?
Has anyone used a drone in relation to NPP operations ? What could a drone do to help us in NPP operations ? What would be the best way to use a drone in NPP operations ? I know that drones are being used to examine electric power transmission lines, railroad lines, freeways and such. All of the drones I have investigated are designed to fly at relatively high speed (greater than 30 mph) and have a pretty short flight time. Would a drone that flew much slower or even be able to hover over a spot be more useful ? What about flight time ? Would we want the flight time to be hours long or is the present less than one hour flight time for most drones acceptable for our purposes.
