#ThrowbackThursday 18 months ago Windracers announced its partnership with Purdue University, officially creating AIDA3 Purdue. Since then, Windracers has helped to co-found the Smart Operations Centre with AIDA3 which will be used to train the next generation of UAV operators. This will eventually enable one operator to manage multiple ULTRAs, our low-cost self-flying cargo aircraft, using AI technology 🤖. #PurdueResearch #AIDA3 #SmartCrossways #AIrTonomy #Windracers #Aviation #SOC #SmartOperationsCenter #CargoAircraft #Cargo #Delivery #Freight #Mail #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #ParcelDelivery #ParcelAndPost #Logistics #SupplyChain #Avionics #Drone #CargoDrone #Autopilot #MiddleMile

This is Yvette Lawrenson, Windracers Regulatory Lead - read her Windracers story below 👇. Having been involved in aviation since 2008, Yvette achieved her first solo flight in an aircraft in 2012 and built her first drone in 2019. Yvette's interest in remotely-piloted and autonomous aircraft systems soon led her into composite drone construction, focusing on large-scale projects including hybrid eVTOL/fixed-wing aircraft. From this, Yvette has been deeply involved in UAS regulation, leading to her joining Windracers in 2022. How did Yvette know that Windracers was the right place for her? 🤔 Yvette saw the team at Windracers taking ULTRA, our low-cost self-flying cargo aircraft, from lab to life. With this in mind, Yvette didn't want to join a company that was just innovating in theory but one that was innovating by carrying out real-life missions. Whether it's surveying Antarctica, landing on aircraft carriers, or creating cargo routes for the people and businesses of the Orkney Islands, Yvette has been an integral part in maintaining Windracers commitment to using ULTRA to change the cargo and middle middle industries 📦. #Windracers #Aviation #CargoAircraft #Cargo #AirCargo #Delivery #MiddleMile #Freight #AirFreight #FreightForwarder #Mail #ParcelDelivery #ParcelAndPost #Logistics #SupplyChain #Avionics #Drone #CargoDrone #Autopilot

Last week, Windracers Environmental presented the application of SWARM technology to UAV operators at the prestigious XPRIZE Wildfire competition summit at the University of Utah. Jonathon Waterford, Mission Software Lead for Windracers, delivered a compelling talk explaining how AI will be used to coordinate multiple ULTRAs, our low-costs self-flying cargo aircraft, into a "swarm" to effectively detect and suppress wildfires 🧯. Windracers Environmental is comprised of representatives from the University of Bristol, The University of Sheffield, Purdue University, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, and Windracers. #Windracers #Firefighting #XPrize #AI #ArtificalIntelligence #Wildfires #SwarmTechnology #AerialSurvey #ClimateChange #UKRI #FutureFlightChallenge #UniversityofBristol #UniversityofSheffield #LancashireFireandRescue #Aviation #CargoAircraft #Cargo #Avionics #Drone #CargoDrone #Autopilot #Fire #Safety #Purdue #AIDA3
