The University Of Michigan Successfully Opened A Drone Complexhttps://medium.com/@deepaerodrones/the-university-of-michigan-successfully-opened-a-drone-complex-f5384cf0a5dThe University of Michigan planned to establish an outdoor drone-testing complex named as, “M-Air fly lab.” Few days back, the university officially celebrated the grand opening of this facility.
The facility, which has a 50-foot high ceiling as part of its 9600-square-foot area, allows for a simultaneous drone-use volume of up to 25 users.
“Especially with small drones, we want to research ways to surveil and collect data, possibly to forecast weather and earthquakes,” said Ella Atkins, Professor of Aerospace Engineering.
The outdoor complex provides a chance to students experience natural weather conditions for the test flights. “Now flights are considered indoors, and we don’t need to go through any typical outdoor flight approval process,” said Jessy Grizzle, Director of Michigan Robotics.
