[@Brunosky_Inc]

He just suddenly pulled up on his board mid-intro and Gav went "well guess we're working with Adam Savage now" lol

[@cowslaw]

Okay wow, the drone resisting being pulled out of the sky is seriously impressive. So is the rain/wind compensation, I had no idea drones could be that stable.

[@kilgorezer]

first

[@anonony9081]

Not too surprising with that many props! Also looks like they are made of foam so probably have a fantastic thrust to weight ratio.

[@Crazyclay78YT]

that was the sickest part in my opinion. it almost looks like its connected with a bungee cord or something, the way it just goes right back to where it was. so awesome, i cant wait for this to be more widespread

[@tiagotiagot]

These ones got some pretty strong motors, but in general drones are pretty stable; not inherently stable, but they basically got an autopilot style system that takes the pilot's inputs (or pre-scheduled flight-plan or whatever for the automated ones), and then constantly monitor rotation and acceleration sensors and apply corrections nearly instantly to ensure the drone is doing what it is being told to do and not what the wind and other disturbances would have it do. Even for FPV drones like Vanover's, while there is a little less hand-holding, in general, he could let go of the controls and the drone would just continue at the exact angle it was even with buffeting winds, slightly damage propeller blades, a little bit of asymmetric accumulation of mud etc (there would be some added vibrations depending on exactly how badly it's being damaged or jerked around, but on average it would keep at it). ps: Don't go yanking, poking, or even grabbing drones in flight if you don't know what you're doing, even medium ones like Vanover's could chop your finger off, and depending on the disturbance it can be a little unpredictable how they react (even more so if there's damage to the blades/motors)

[@GryphonBrokewing]

Sure, sudden yank releases the cable...sounds like thieves just need a winch to slowly wind it in, then. Or hold it steady for a net.

[@joshualuciani3896]

The smoke vortex shots blew my mind. I had no idea

[@xippzap]

Indeed, mine also. The thing that got me is look at the small vortexes and the action that they produce. Now go look at a video of the planet Jupiter and the bands of storms that envelop that planet, they look real similar. Basically, this really shows me what the wind speeds must really be like on Jupiter.

[@mwater_moon2865]

I did (multiple aerospace engineers in my fam) and I still loved it!

[@AMurderOfLobs]

Just consider now that those smoke vortices are literally occurring continuously around the entire 360 degree circle at the same time, forming what are essentially "smoke rings", but we only see these as "vortices" because the smoke, lighting, and camera are only setup to isolate a singular 2-d cross section at one arbitrary location within that greater ring structure. This is happening all the time, even if we don't have smoke to illustrate it. Cool thought next time you look at boring old fan.,,,🤯

[@mattegeniet]

One of the rare occurrences where the company is more interesting than the slowmo videos... I've seen a thousand slow motion videos by now. But I'd love to get food delivered by drone one day !

[@jackielinde7568]

QUESTION: Has Wing crash tested the drone against other surfaces, like cars? While side and rear windows are tempered glass and likely to survive, the windshield is a sandwich of two thin layers of glass with a plastic membrane. It's possible the carbon fiber rods could slam through the windshield. and how fast do they have to go for their carbon fiber rods to tear through the aluminum body of the car? Without testing, we won't know for sure. Also, what do they have in the way of obstacle avoidance for both stationary and moving obstacles? I know it won't be flying at the same level as commercial aircraft. But a recent crash between a tour helicopter flying at night and a 1049-foot-tall radio tower in Houston recently points out how unpredictable the airspace can be.

[@popper3359]

[@RedSunT]

[@pizzamanbob088]

"Optimised Workflows" is such a polite euphemism for understaffing

[@geisaune793]

Ehh, not necessarily. I'm no corporate stooge but in my experience it really depends on the business. I would agree that, typically, the bigger the corporation, the more inefficiently it operates, and the more likely they are to be understaffed and/or treating their workers poorly. I've worked a lot of places, almost all entry-level positions, and typically, local or regional businesses do tend to have their stuff together while larger corporations tend to operate more inefficiently and/or don't treat their workers well. I live in an area with a lot of QuikTrips, a regional gas station chain, and starting pay is usually like $16 an hour. On the other hand, Chick-fil-a comes to mind as a large corporation that tends to have pretty well-staffed restaurants. I don't know about anyone else, but at every Chick-fil-a I've ever been, the kitchen is packed with workers, the starting pay is usually pretty good for entry-level, unskilled labor (definitely higher than the $12 min. wage in my state), and they get people through the drive-thru pretty quickly.

And Alex Zvada formerly of "FliteTest"! What an amazing alignment of the "Stars". As a retired Aerodynamics Engineer, RC pilot and general lover of flight, the slow motion shots of the prop tip vortices is outstanding.

Ugh this might just be one of my favourite videos ever. As an Aerospace Engineering student, my Capstone Project was designing/modifying an existing drone design to be able to VTOL while also using these special underactuated rotors that were able to change their trust vector (for even more control on the aircraft as well as only needing two rotor blades instead of at least 4) to be able to change the angle of the rotors themselves without needing any servos to change the angle of the propellers. My specific role was in the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) portion of project so using software to observe and predict the flow of air around the aircraft. Seeing those vortices and the flow around the propeller and such high speed is just incredible after doing the math and seeing it in software for the last couple years. Great video!

Wing has been operating in Australia since 2019, starting in Canberra, the nation's capital city. In 2021 they opened a second site in Logan (where I live), Queensland, near the state's capital city, Brisbane.

Every part of this was equally cool and amazing!

It's weird how when things slow down their sound somehow becomes this calming music. I wish I could be so in touch with the universe as to hear that all the time

I imagine the title and thumbnail will be changed soon to call out Adam specifically, but right now all there is it @tested in the title and it was a nice surprise for him to nonchalantly roll by on a One Wheel in the intro.

Hearing Adam shout the countdown was a nostalgia time machine

Yay! Alex from Flite Test!

[@TheScarletTomato1]

Wow, I didn't expect to see Alex there! Didn't think that I would ever get crossover between my viewership of The Slow Mo Guys and FliteTest in this crazy way.

It looks like Wing is trying to hire as many people who have worked in KZbin as they can. Previously with Rotor Riot and Flite Test

[@PlaneAwesome]

I had no idea Alex was over at Wing! Takes me back to the early FliteTest days!

[@pookage]

holy extended advert, batman

[@Dysiode]

@@pookage if only there were an extension that let you skip Blocks of Sponsor content 😁

[@slangcorp]

the whole video is sponsored content ​@@Dysiode

[@securus777]

yea, I like rc stuff and even this was a bit too addy for me.

[@pookage]

@@Dysiode My point was that the entire video was an ad - the only way to skip it would have been to not watch it!

[@davyaldy76]

Alex from Flite Test! Legend!

[@jessriddle9204]

Always a good day when a new video is up
