OVER 10 YEARS IN THE DRONE INDUSTRY
Through their years of experience operating drones, Baam Tech recognized the fixed wing drone solutions commercially available were not up to the task. Delta fixed-wings, due to their light bodies, are far too susceptible to wind and turbulence. The rocking motion they develop in flight disables the payload from collecting reliable data. And once the aircraft is in winds at or above 10 mph, most aircrafts are forced to land.
Higher end composite systems have good image quality but require extremely large fields to land and sometimes required extra equipment for launching. Also all these system have NADIR (straight down) camera angles, which causes low quality 3d models and create less accurate models with vegetation.
Baam Tech, recognizing the uncomfortable decision facing commercial surveyors in incorporating UAV into their operation, set out to create an aircraft that addresses all problems facing survey grade drones.

OBLIQUE CAMERA
The Futura delivers the best data available on market today. This is due in part to its distinctive oblique camera system. While other systems use a downward facing camera to capture data, The Futura uses a 36mp Sony A7R at an oblique angle to capture more accurate 3D models. This allows for better vegetation and improvement extraction.
Weather
The most common system used for commercial survey are delta wing aircrafts. The key issue with delta wing systems is their vulnerability to wind. A rocking motion occurs during flight with minimal wind and once the aircraft is in winds above 10 mph, it can no longer collect good data. The Futura was built with this in mind. Because of the fixed wing fuselage and stable design, The Futura can withstand and fly in winds up to 40mph while maintaining blur free imagery.
25 Meter Landing Area
A key component to effectively using a UAV system for your large scale survey projects is the ability to land the aircraft in tight spaces. The Futura is designed to land in a 25 meter area and come in at a very steep landing angle, allowing the aircraft to land in small spaces surrounded by trees. This has never been seen by fixed wing aircrafts until now. The Futura has the long range advantage of fixed wing aircrafts without sacrificing the weight and budget penalties of VTOL aircraft.
LAUNCH BY HAND
Catapult systems are bulky, difficult to use and difficult to travel with. Futura avoids the problematic catapult launching system by being easy to launch by hand.
