How Astria Moves Pitch Aeronautics 2022-01-01 | Astria, our up-close and touch-capable precision drone, moves around a bit differently than traditional quad and hexcopter drones.
Multiple Bird Diverter Installs Pitch Aeronautics 2023-08-02 | First Attempt at Installing Multiple Bird Diverters with Astria
Astrias first install of a sensor on an energized power line. Pitch Aeronautics 2023-07-06 | You can learn more about this technology at www.pitchaero.comACKNOWLEDGMENTThis research was completed under subcontract to Idaho National Laboratory with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Electricity (OE) and Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO). Idaho National Laboratory is operated by Battelle Energy Alliance under contract No. DE AC07-05ID14517 as part of the Transmission Optimization with Grid-Enhancing Technologies (TOGETs) project.
Astria Batteries Pitch Aeronautics 2022-07-14 | No one wants to be tied down by batteries: that's why Astria can fly for a long time with a full payload and easily swap out the batteries. We're in the process of further improving our power system design with a bigger battery to do robotic tasks longer.Learn more at: startengine.com/pitch-aeronautics
PITCH AERONAUTICS | Up-Close and Touch-Based Drone for Robotic Tasks Pitch Aeronautics 2022-02-21 | Pitch Aeronautics has built a totally new type of aircraft optimized for up-close and touch-based tasks. It can put a 5-10lb payload in next to or in contact with a target for up to 20 minutes. This means tools, sensors, and robotic arms - not just cameras. It can replace those tasks which can only be done by workers who climb ropes, use cranes, and lean out of scaffolding today. What could you do with an up-close and touch-capable drone?
Pitch Aeronautics Fall 2021 Testing Summary: Test Stand to Stable Flight with Cyclorotor Pitch Aeronautics 2021-12-08 | It's been an exciting fall at Pitch Aeronautics. We have taken a totally new type of aircraft from the workshop to stable flight via a series of incremental tests and flight tests. Look for more technical updates as we prepare for our first flights with customers.
First Flight of Hybrid Cyclorotor Drone Pitch Aeronautics 2021-10-02 | Some clips of the first flights of "Astria," which is Pitch Aeronautic's commercial prototype drone for up-close and touch-based industrial inspections. These first flights tested a backup safety flight control system. Next up: lab and flight testing of our precision flight control system.
Takeoff! Pitch Aeronautics 2021-09-17 | Initial flight test of the Pitch Aero Hybrid Cyclorotor Drone! These initial flights were used to test a backup flight control system. Our upcoming flights will begin testing our advanced flight control system for precision control.
Touch Inspection Drone Test Stand Testing Pitch Aeronautics 2021-09-13 | Here's a few clips of testing our drone for up-close and touch-based inspections. The first clip shows some experimental characterization of rotor thrust on a force balalnce. The second a lift-off controls test, the third a pilot test of roll/pitch, and the final another lift-off test. Flight testing is about to begin!
