Measurement configuration with the DragonSky
The DragonSky system consists of a DJI Matrice 400 or 350 RTK drone equipped with a high-precision LiDAR sensor.
The LiDAR captures the geometry of the rotating blades while the drone hovers in front of the operating wind turbine’s rotor.
Measurements are taken at varying distances from the rotor, depending on the turbine type, to ensure optimal and tailored data acquisition.
