Samples from AreoHawk
"You've got some great software there and a nice looking plane. Is the camera also roll stabilized? I'm just wondering because I'm designing an aerial photography platform and would rather do without a gimbal. I just haven't…"

Rowland posted a blog postUAV Mapping goes to mainstream mapping professionals
From our company Blog: 2012 ESRI International User Conference, San Diego:Hawkeye UAV was fortunate enough to be invited to exhibit at this year’s ESRI GIS User Conference in San Diego. With a sponsored booth in a prime position in Hall D we could only say "Yes, thank you!" So in late July, Rowland and myself made our way across from New…See More

Gisela & Joe Noci commented on Rowland's blog post AeroHawk"Rowland, do you know the motor rpm/volt and the prop size and pitch?

Rowland commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Sure thing. I think the key point is that this industry is complex and people always try and over simplify capabilities. As soon as you are dealing with the environment the cards are stacked against you."
Mike commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Rowland, please don't get me wrong - I was just pointing out that in scheme of things it is not a noteworthy cost factor. However, the statements of Kryzs and yourself are quite vaild and real issues and the approach is also valid. As is mine!…"
Rowland commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Mike, we agree but we found a significant increase in efficiency with our new UAV and were excited, so hence the focus on Sq/km. One thing we have found from years of commercial experience is that you do need to be able to do reasonably…"
Mike commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Kryzs, yes and no! Equal lighting can be sorted easily and effectively in post - I have software that does that automatically with great results and using RAW gives an even wider range of available adjustment.
I prefer slower planes anyway as…"
Krzysztof Bosak commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Yes and no. If you require equal lighting and even more you are photomapping construction site, it is good to have one long flight.
Also because the smallest mishap would force you into option: repair SMALL issue on the field and make the second…"
Mike commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Krzys - the flight time is relatively trivial in the scheme of things - unless we are talking days. Getting to the site, good ground control and photo processing are where the real time is taken - so as far as marketing goes the km2/hour is a…"
Krzysztof Bosak commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Yes they use the AUW very efficiently. What most ppl dont realise on this market is that the more elongated the surface is, the easier is to get high total surface. As a result we have photo_width*(flight_time*airspeed) surface best case, but this…"

"That's a very pretty airframe, I like!"
Rowland commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Oops and I have been told off by one of our staff, the acquisition was complete at 42 min not 36. I recall 36 min for the task complete and we continued for another 6 min for some extra. This was the first time I had flown for a…"
Rowland commented on Rowland's blog post New AreoHawk in Service"Yes processing is king, especially with wide angle lens. Its taken 18 months for Areo to fully optimise for this type of aquisition. Its hard to say what the side overlap is, I think you're right - 50% is about right but…"

RQ-84Z AreoHawk is now is service in NZ after a months trial in Canada and NZ. We are acquiring 8 Sq/km in 36 min from 400-600 AGL and endurance 90 min+ -in 25 km 'hr winds.
Sensor is Sony Nex-5, Migrating to Sony Nex-7 in one week (when they arrive). Our Terrain Aware IP allows for dynamic operations factoring in wind direction, DEM, overlap requirements and acquisiton rate depending on ground speed.
No need for catapult. Parachute recovery (automated) and…
