Economics
Still early days…
An example
A 100-wind turbine wind farm
Complete inspection required
Manual inspection: two people per turbine for around a day 200 person days
A drone can inspect one turbine in no more than an hour 100 drone hours
The drone might identify 15 turbines that need manual inspection 30 person
days

Future applications
BVLoS
Autonomous flight: “just bring your drone in a box”
AI to “look at” footage, identifying critical areas, and turbines to be inspected
IR cameras (already happening)
Documentation (already happening now)
