Can drones fly in cold weather?
2023-09-13 19:00Everyone knows that when the temperature rises, excessive temperature will cause some malfunctions in the use of the drone. But what many may not know is that cold weather will also have some impact the performance of the drone. For drone electric, winter is coming. We should know more about some precautions to protect our drones. You can read this article and pay attention to what factors will affect our drones in winter. use and what impact it will have.
1. Cold weather will cause the battery performance of drone electric to decrease:
The occurrence of low temperatures will reduce the performance of the drone battery, resulting in reduced battery performance and unstable voltage capabilities, affecting the performance of the drone. Because low temperature will reduce the speed of chemical reactions in the battery, resulting in low efficiency of battery storage and release, thereby shortening the flight time for the drone. For some electric drones, a drone with the same battery capacity will be able to provide less power in cold weather.
2. Cold weather will damage the electronic components of drone electric:
Due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, changes in temperature will cause the electronic components of the drone to shrink and expand, which may cause stress and cracks within the components. Especially at extremely low temperatures, the material shrinks more significantly, increasing the risk of component damage. At the same time, a low-temperature environment will cause the drone's heat dissipation capacity to decrease, making the components unable to dissipate heat effectively. This may cause the component's temperature to be too high, exceeding its own endurance range, causing failure.
3. Cold weather may interfere with the drone electric signal.
Cold weather may cause signal transmission capabilities to weaken. In a low-temperature environment, resistance of the signal transmission medium will increase, causing signal attenuation and affecting signal quality. In this regard, the properties of some sensors on the drone, such as gyroscopes, accelerators, etc., will increase. These errors may also affect the operator's ability to control and navigate the drone.
4. Cold weather will reduce the stability of drone electric
In cold weather, the wind speed and force will increase to a certain extent, and stability of the drone will be challenged when flying. Therefore, if the drone cannot adapt to these challenges, it may lead to out-of-control and unstable flight. , the captured content is also very shaky.
Cold weather has always been a major challenge in the aviation drone industry. The impact of cold weather on drone electric has also aroused the vigilance among drone operators. Because the growing market for drones is becoming more and more extensive, how to alleviate cold weather? The impact on drones has also become a more important point. Of course, everyone must also pay attention to these small reasons that may cause drone malfunctions and try to avoid malfunctions.
