View the unmanned aerial vehicle in the car

The German space agency has successfully tested the technology to allow an unmanned drone or a drone to land on a moving vehicle.

Before the answer, the solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle will fly at a speed of about 75.6km / h. Flight software will automatically search for physical markers on the roof of the vehicle. This marking area is 488cm long and 396cm wide. Upon detecting these physical markers, the unmanned aerial vehicle will begin to align vertically, like the helicopter landing gear. Accuracy of the aircraft when landing on the roof of the car is in the range of 50.8cm.

Unmanned aerial vehicles will not need to be fitted with details for traditional landing gear.

With this new roof, unmanned aerial vehicles do not need to be fitted with traditional landing gear and thus reduce the weight of the aircraft to about 20kg. The reduction in weight is very significant in practice as it helps the aircraft carry more and fly further, especially when it is using solar energy. This test requires interaction with the driver, but in the future the unmanned aerial vehicle will automatically respond to self-propelled vehicles.

According to the German Aerospace Agency, the purpose of developing a new approach is to serve solar powered unmanned aerial vehicles in situations where information is updated in disaster areas. , replacing broken communications, or providing information on climate change. It is also likely that the new method will also allow unmanned or drone aircraft to meet emergency situations in search and rescue situations in unfavorable terrains.
