Re: AAIB Report: DJI Phantom 4 RTK, UAS lost power and dropped to the ground
From the report it did so more than "rapidly", as the motors were continuing under normal power even though the drone was upside down. The gem is located on page 5 of the report.
"The data indicated that, from a height of about 60 m, the aircraft descent rate increased beyond that associated with free fall. This was because of thrust from the propellers whilst the aircraft was inverted." I guess there might be a software patch for that one in the future, granted though a broken propeller isn't an expected scenario. LOL. Andrew |
