Open questions

  • Country or countries of operation, and which regulatory category applies (VLOS for now; BVLOS later?)
  • Do you own a SpeedyBee F405 WING already, or should we buy an H743 FC? A SpeedyBee F405 Wing V2 is on hand for the bench and RC tuning; an H743 is needed before browser-flown missions (ADR-0002, 2026-10-11)
  • Airframe: off-the-shelf VTOL or a DIY conversion? Target endurance and range?
  • Mission payload: is the gimbal camera just for situational awareness, or for real imaging or mapping (stills, geotagging)?
  • What the onboard CV must do (detect people/vehicles, track a target, landing assist, mapping…). It sizes the compute: if the Orange Pi 5's NPU isn't enough, add a Hailo-8L over M.2 or move to a Jetson Orin NX (ADR-0018).
  • Which gimbal, and exactly how many aux and CV cameras (and over which interfaces)?
  • Obstacle avoidance (ADR-0019): stereo pair or one camera with monocular depth? Add a rangefinder/lidar for landing? Which escape action per flight phase?
  • Single operator, or several users and roles in the web app?
  • Custom domain name for the web app?
  • Cellular carrier and the coverage at the flying site
  • Is a recorded-video archive needed, or live view only?
