One of the key advantages of testing drones in a WindShape facility is that it enables free-flight testing in real life conditions. Our windshaper can recreate any steady or time-variable wind. The drone, while in free flight in the test facility, experiences a similar situation as if it were actually flying.

Resilience to weather is what can enable drones to fly 24/7 for various applications. Flying in weather can increase the probability of mission failure and for this reason we encourage all manufacturers to get ahead of the regulation/standards by testing and adapting their design during the development phase. Our current configuration allows for testing drones up to 1.2m wingspan in our 1.5m x 0.75m windshaper. We can generate different types of rain, ranging from drizzle to heavy rain.

Drone propulsion units are critical systems that require particular design attention. A good propulsion design allows for more energy efficient, safer, more robust, less noisy, or simply more performant drones.
