Landing on platform, emergency landing
To perform an accurate landing on the platform, it is necessary to mark out the landing area transmitter. Due to its small size, it can be easily placed even on a small platform. In case of an emergency landing, the transmitter can simply be placed on any surface and connected to a power source. The receiver must be mounted on board of the aircraft in a line of sight with the transmitter. It is desirable to place the receiver closer to the center of the drone, but if it is not possible to place the receiver directly in the landing center area, the offset can be eliminated by adjusting the receiver accordingly. For more information, see the integration section.
Landing on the elevated platforms
Since the system calculates the distance to the landing point by itself, there is no need to use additional tools to ensure landing on a float plane that is at a significant elevation from the surrounding environment. This will be useful when landing on masts, tall structures, large vehicles, etc. No additional adjustments are required in this case.
Landing on balcony
A special case of landing is landing on a platform accessible only from one side. For example, balconies. In this case, it is not possible to make a vertical landing. With our system, however, you can easily select the landing angle simply by orienting the transmitter in the desired direction. In this case, the receiver will continuously transmit updated data about the position of the landing site so that the trajectory of the aircraft will not be vertical. Also, in this mode, you can dynamically control the position of the drone by changing the inclination of the transmitting beacon. Please note that this function can be disabled in the receiver settings and then the landing will always be vertical regardless of the transmitter tilt (e.g. if you are landing on a moving platform).
Wireless charging stations and contactless delivery
The system can be used not only to provide a landing, but also to realize a precise hovering over the desired point. This is useful for e.g. for wireless charging systems - in which the drone is charged while in vision, or for e.g. in cases when the cargo is delivered without contact (dropped). It should be noted that our system provides not only the horizontal position shift, but also the altitude. This allows accurate positioning not only in the horizontal plane, but also in height - this is very important for wireless charging and contactless delivery.
