Skydio - Skill And Test Flight

My first skill flight of our new fleet aircraft -  The Skydio 2+ Enterprise

A Skydio 2+ checklist was created by me:

1. Skydio 2+ is a next-generation autonomous drone with advanced obstacle avoidance and tracking features with a new game-changing AI feature that allows the aircraft to learn and behave in a new way of home returning while having a GPS loss situation.

Skydio performs both GPS and AI Visual RTH.



The RTH also features two different returning height behaviors, including Absolute or Relative, as shown in the following.




2. The second feature we practice is the zooming of the Skydio camera setting.

Skydio camera uses 1x, 3x, and Super Zoom wide-angle cameras, as well as Panorama.



3. In addition, for filmmakers, vloggers, and YouTubers, there are options for creative aircraft maneuvers that allow the user to activate in order to get a smooth video. In this practice, I used the Orbit flying and Keyframe. It is definitely full of fun.


Videos of the orbit and keyframe feature are in the following link:

4. At last, I performed a very innovative feature that believed only Skydio has, it is also based on an AI visual analysis - the case landing. Even during a gust of 15 kits, it performs pretty well.


5. Overall, I give Skydio 2+ a high rate. It is very innovative in AI analysis and algorithm and has many novel features, but I think its imaging system still needs to be upgraded. Compared with the Hasselblad sensor on DJI's Mavic 2 pro, skydio2+ will not be competitive.
