    Typhoon H Pilots Needed - Influence the Future of Drone Development!

    Markinter, looking at any drones with autonomous or semi-autonomous flight modes and FPV (which is pretty broad). We have a good sample of participants all the way up to semi-pro class but pro-level drones/pilots are obviously more difficult to find... Regarding the study. After you download...

    Typhoon H Pilots Needed - Influence the Future of Drone Development!

    Wanderlust, always pays to be extra safe (though in the case of the Dscout app I have not heard anything that would be cause of concern; many large companies use it to conduct their studies). Thanks, and if you choose to participate the name of the study is "Calling All Drone Pilots"; you...

    Typhoon H Pilots Needed - Influence the Future of Drone Development!

    Brian, what exactly is the issue? I have paid to be a vendor on the YuneecPilots.com forum and have posted a valid solicitation for Yuneec pilot's participation in a paid study regarding their flying experiences. My apologies if anything about what I have done does not fall within the rules of...

    Typhoon H Pilots Needed - Influence the Future of Drone Development!

    Divulging the name of any recognizable company involved with drone development would have the effect of biasing participant's responses and that is not in anyone's interest (your example of "DJI" is just illuminating the point). Our only interest is in knowing how current drone capabilities are...

    Typhoon H Pilots Needed - Influence the Future of Drone Development!

    I definitely understand the trepidation. Here are the answers that will hopefully allay concerns. 1.) Why can't the company name be divulged? The reason is simple, it is to prevent bias in participant responses during their responses; the company is large enough that there is a good chance that...

    Typhoon H Pilots Needed - Influence the Future of Drone Development!

    Hello, Apologies first and foremost to be soliciting your help. I am a Human Factors researcher of a large company (which I cannot disclose) that is conducting a study on drone piloting experiences (specifically focused on autonomous flight capabilities). As you all know, drones with autonomous...
