ã€Global Science and Technology Report】 According to the British "Daily Mail" on May 12, the skydiving player Ingus Augstkaln used the drone to complete skydiving in Latvia. This is the world's first unmanned drone. parachute.
The drone takes off from the ground pool and Oskar stands on the top of the 120-meter-tall tower. When the drone rises to the top of the tower, Oskar grabs the drone rack and waits to rise to 330 meters. After a high altitude separation, a free-fall movement of about 1 second was performed first, and then the parachute was opened, and finally the landing was successful. This may be the next breakthrough in extreme sports - "drone drone."

Oskar said: “This feeling of being picked up quickly by drones is fantastic! Latvia once again proves itself in technological innovation. Obviously, drones will play an increasingly important role in our daily lives. The role of skydiving friends all over the world will surely be excited."
The drone was developed by the Latvian technology company Aerones. It covers an area of ​​3.2 square meters and is equipped with 28 engines. It has 16 rotors and weighs 70 kg and can carry 200 kg of weight. The large drone costs 37,000 U.S. dollars (about 255,200 yuan) and the on-board battery can support about 10 minutes of flight. Theoretically speaking, this drone has a top speed of 150 km/h, but at this speed, driving becomes difficult, so the parachutist must control the speed at around 60 km/h.
Aerones believes that drone parachuting is not just for stimulating. It may also be used in many areas such as emergency rescue, fire rescue, sports and entertainment, etc. to undertake more challenging tasks. (Internship Compilation: Wang Jing Reviewer: Li Zongze)
