Hull inspections are crucial for efficiency, but vessel activity and relatively shallow waters mean “good” conditions in ports are rare. Thanks to SONAR, ROV positioning sensors, and specific lighting attachments, low-visibility inspections are possible without putting people in the water. Did you know that divers often make the best pilots? Their experience with underwater surveys means they know what they're looking for and can ensure that the inspection is done thoroughly. This footage taken using the Deep Trekker REVOLUTION ROV. #DeepTrekker #ROV #UWILD #HullInspection

CROSSWIND TAKEOFF 📌The technique for an initial takeoff roll in a crosswind is similar to a normal takeoff roll. 📌The pilot must apply aileron pressure into the crosswind. 🔖This raises the aileron on the upwind wing, imposing a downward force on the wing to counteract the lifting force of the crosswind, preventing the wing from rising. 🔖Since the ailerons and rudder are deflected, drag will increase. 🔖Less initial takeoff performance should be expected until the airplane is wings-level in coordinated flight during the climb. #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #aviationdaily #aviationgeek

A typical profile starts with a vertical take-off with the help of 6 lifting propellers and transitions into wing borne flight where the wings are spread, lifting props stop and the pusher prop takes over. This 3 minute part of the profile is run solely on battery power to minimize emitted noise. Then, PD250 starts climbing to 4,000 ft where it will cruise for the next 4 hrs. The picture depicts PD250 in the climb phase of the flight in front of the rising red-moon. #CargoTron #PD250 #flightprofile #logisitics

https://lnkd.in/gR_DUZvw Video Credit : Social Media An underwater locator beacon (ULB) is a device that emits an acoustic pulse to guide searchers to the location of the beacon underwater. The beacons are attached to the flight recorders and fuselage of aircrafts and are activated when they come into contact with water. They are designed to survive accidents and function correctly after impact. The LF-ULD is located in the aft or bulk cargo compartment behind the vertical sidewall panel. An underwater locator beacon (ULB), also called an underwater locating device (ULD) or underwater acoustic beacon is a device fitted to aviation flight recorders such as the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), the flight data recorder (FDR) as well as to the aircraft fuselage. Once activated by immersion in water, a ULB is designed to emit an ultrasonic pulse at 37.5 kHz every second for a duration of at least 30 days. ULBs attached to the airframe transmit at 8.8kHz and are called low frequency ULBs.

https://lnkd.in/eVCC7Euv Hybrid aerial underwater vehicles (HAUVs) that are capable of autonomously operating in both the aerial and underwater environments with repeated rapid transitions have received great interest in recent years. Current HAUV prototypes cannot fully cope with the unstructured, harsh, and hazardous ocean environments considering the high‐pressure and the strong hydrodynamic perturbations. This work reports on the HAUV, Nezha‐IV, with all basic functions validated in a real ocean environment. Nezha‐IV has four aerial propellers and eight underwater thrusters. It is not only capable of maneuvering delicately during flight and underwater but can also perform dynamic transitions under rough sea conditions. https://lnkd.in/eUuX8DUy This may be the initial prototype from three years ago https://lnkd.in/efkgkgpk

What's a "Rotor Blown Wing?" It's our novel approach to a new class of vertical takeoff and landing uncrewed aerial systems. The constant airflow from the proprotor wash across the wing reduces drag in hover mode and when transitioning to forward flight., increasing cruise efficiencies and endurance.
