Black fly, life is short, positioning, etc., or make unmanned aircraft industry chaos flap

As unmanned intelligent control equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles can be divided into: helicopter,play Baby Games fixed-wing UAV, multi-rotor UAV, unmanned airship, wing unmanned machines. According to market research firm predicted BI Intelligence to predict the next 10 years will account for 12% of civilian UAV UAV market share, valued at $ 98 billion. The current market size of 30 billion yuan in the UAV, with the improvement of our airspace and UAV open regulatory policy, the next 10 years China's civilian UAV growth is expected to exceed 30%. Relevant institutions predict that the next 20 years of civil UAV market size will reach 46 billion yuan. The coveted piece of cake entrepreneurs are numerous, including a number of unmanned aerial vehicles brands have gained the favor of capital, such as invested by Shenzhen Mai Star, Sequoia Capital investment of up to $ 10 billion valuation, in the consumer market accounted for absolute leader Dajiang innovation; the spacecraft had engaged in research studies Jianjun was founded in January 2015, was 50 million yuan Pennefather technology to obtain zero-controlled capital increase 10% stake; served by the 2009 Dajiang innovation the creation of Lu Zhihui, a round of financing valuation of more than 150 million, the market value of over 500 million B round of financing of 40 million yuan after Corbett aviation. In close cooperation with the express logistics industry in August last year completed a pole flying a UAV $ 20 million and one hundred million A round of financing and other aircraft, millet, Tencent has also cut into the market through the acquisition of the team, the whole market is in a hot, contending. China's civilian UAV rise partly because China's industrial chain are gradually mature, such as Shenzhen, all the hardware available to purchase, on the other hand is to increase R & D investment to accelerate the technology is mature, in 2014 "Global Innovation 1000" the total R & D expenditure in China reached $ 29.96 billion, a jump of 46% over last year, significantly higher than the global growth rate of 1.4% in R & D spending. Plus the cost of hardware, such as sensors significantly reduce, intelligent process quickly to small, low power devices to move, so that our UAVs have large cost advantage. Especially the multi-rotor UAV valued in the consumer market because of its simple structure, the market has been open source flight control system so that lowering the threshold for production, reduce cost, and good handling capabilities, hover, more suitable for personal use , many fans can buy their own DIY component developer making a simple UAV. So UAV "unwittingly" to "fly into the homes of ordinary people." Before take-off, which may also allow you to flap Despite the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicles, but there are some people in the industry for its ability to follow sustainable play Dog Games development represents a certain skepticism, especially consumer market, media reported billions of dollars of Air China is the home of "no technology, no product, only the marketing "shell companies." like it is everywhere, some even say that the UAV market is currently 90% of the company is to purely financial speculation. more troublesome is facing bright prospects, the market really take off until the UAV , there are many problems to be solved, you can be able to accidentally stumble make their own "wings." Life of the War, how long and steady Life time limit UAV technology has been the development of a major bottleneck. Xinjiang currently on the market including large multi-rotor UAVs, including UAV mostly use lithium batteries as an energy source because it is easy to purchase, process maturity, but individual differences, batteries can not be 100% balanced charge and discharge, and High-power battery charging takes longer to use the more cumbersome, the most vexing is its battery life, weight 300 grams of lithium theoretically allow only 500 grams weight UAV flight 17 minutes, how to enhance UAV life time allowed to meet consumer or even higher levels of industrial-grade, military grade requirements become all UAV manufacturers have to face the ridge. To break the bottleneck on the voyage, only from two aspects, one is to change the energy, the second is to reduce its weight. Unmanned aircraft with fuel as energy is always the military option, but this type of aircraft on the one hand and more for expensive fixed-wing, there are limitations when using the site and is not flexible enough, on the other hand the use of fuel will cause pollution to the environment. In lithium battery technology breakthrough can not be greater today, starting only from power, current British IntelligentEnergy, Corbett domestic aviation fuel cells using hydrogen as hydrogen light, fast escape in non-confined space, even produce fire it will not cause an explosion, hydrogen cheap, low loss: maintenance costs are low, only 5000 hours for an activation process once, and gasoline is different from hydrogen combustion is up, there is no danger of horizontal extension. From now on, the hydrogen fuel cell has been able to provide in the case of extremely stable power UAVs, such as Singapore, a hydrogen fuel cell UAV flight can load 4 hours under full load 1Kg can support 150 minutes, Corbett UAV was able to do a load 5Kg flight 273 minutes, but that is the limit it? To meet all application needs? Clearly not. Let me say how to reduce the weight of UAV, yes, starting from the material. Consumer drones extensive use of plastic and metal parts, but must serve a variety of industrial-grade UAV mission requirements in different working environment for the body material requirements are far from ordinary plastic and aluminum can meet, so select the appropriate materials become another variable influence of life. Corbett and other manufacturers to use the current full carbon fiber aeronautical materials, compared to the conventional aluminum alloy, carbon fiber is lighter in weight 2/3, thereby increasing the range, and without increasing the original motor power situation improved UAV load capacity. But drones are not just for "flying" too long, you need to fly higher, farther and more stable, how to meet the diverse needs always will be driven by entrepreneurs who move on. Hardship market, consumer or industrial take what the scoop? In addition to the current military UAV, but in civilian areas it can also be widely used, such as aerial photography, aircraft flying service, remote sensing, self-timer, mapping, geological surveys, disaster monitoring, meteorological, air traffic control, border patrol surveillance, communications following, pesticide spraying and the like. Which can be divided into industrial and consumer level, the various manufacturers in the main consumer or industrial market choice is also different emphases, such as large industrial Xinjiang had to do in 2010, transferred to the consumer market, currently consumer accounting for the global market share of more than 70%, the above-mentioned zero, billion-Air, also do the main consumer market, while Corbett is the main industrial markets, such as the public security system, security patrol, criminal arrest, emergency rescue, high-speed road information collection, forest patrol, night inspections; fire fighting system: fire detection, floaters rescue, yelling guide rescue, natural disaster emergency rescue, emergencies and rescue; electrical inspection; petrochemical; electricity wiring, Corbett aviation UAV power line is put inventor. Brilliant, flying, etc. are also very entrepreneurial brand industrial markets. However, both the consumer market or industrial UAV market is currently faced with a series of questions, such as: First, the sales channels and product technology uneven. Most enterprises or strong in technology, but the lack of sales channels and networks, can not be mass marketing; or a single product, such as only one type of four-axis multi-rotor UAV, since no power redundancy axis, any broken a propeller, the plane will fall, there is a risk in certain industrial applications. Second, pricing chaos, market acceptance is not high. At present, both consumer-grade or industrial grade UAV drones, price differences are great,play Cat Games Taobao cheaper to block 100, expensive several million. Even the same properties, such as unmanned aerial vehicles also a life of about 30 minutes, there is the price of 60 to 80 million, there are 4.5 to 6 million, say drones are not just to be the product of ordinary buyers early adopters widespread psychological ; this price status allows users no choice. Third, the team instability, technology easy to fault. For example, a UAV industrial enterprises founding team split many times, a person walking on the loose team, R & D is also broken, a direct impact on the overall development of enterprises. UAV market and consumer focus on user experience, industrial market is focused on life, load, payload, operating radius aircraft technical indicators and industrial applications, both requirements vary greatly, their different market segments more demand, a test of entrepreneurs who understand the application of UAVs, it is easy trade-off. The allocation of these two types of energy markets, identify the entry point for the entrepreneurial team is also a great challenge. Mystery Policy, who will monitor who will protect Currently, in our country there are many regulatory issues UAV lack of policies and regulations are now increasingly unable to meet the needs of the UAV market development. Such as the current regulations for unmanned aerial vehicles, mostly from 2013 China Civil Aviation Authority issued a "civil unmanned aircraft systems driver management Interim Provisions." "Provisions" that UAV take-off weight of less than 7 kg or flight height of less than 120 meters away from the flight does not exceed 500 meters drone pilot can not hold a driver's license. But once beyond this range, are "black fly." And in China UAVs need to meet three conditions: First, the operator has a driver's license UAV is currently the only legal license issued by the State Civil Aviation AOPA; second, the approval of the legitimate military airspace; third, declaration of civil aviation flight plan. Chongqing City, a light but may have more than 2,000 UAVs, and holders of "license UAVs" people only 110 people, the majority of UAV enthusiasts have a "black flight" phenomenon. This is one of the great safety accidents. But now the UAV management practices, measures neither mandatory, nor is there any mechanism for "black fly" to investigate the case, these loopholes and gaps caused more chaos in the industry. Although recently introduced a number of new regulations, such as the December 29, 2015, the National Civil Aviation Flight Standards Division issued the "small light UAV operating rules (Trial)", March 4, 2016, China Civil Aviation Administration Flight Standards Division officially approved small light UAV monitoring system "Youyun (U-cloud)" implementation run, but in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly on airspace management, whether there will be a more relaxed, clearer legal environment, no man-machine in each scene, especially the low-altitude airspace regulations liberalized in which the maximum, who will protect personal and property safety of UAV under ordinary people, this year 3.15 evening, CCTV exposure Dajiang UAV serious security vulnerabilities ; Qinghai play Girl Games Lake has provided drones fly zone to prevent the recurrence of normalized swan homeless are just a reminder, the UAV market is killing the entrepreneurs who want to send or publish all of the New Deal may determine their life and death, but also against the largely ineffective. In addition, there is the problem of technical barriers and cost risks, UAV R & D, manufacturing, sales, service and requires a lot of money, but also not a short cycle (by stealing, copying and other forms of matter) Therefore, the product stability and market demand there are many variables, the risk is not small.
