    Landing / recovering UAV at speed on a ship

    Hey i joined in pretty late i guess. I own a mavic air, been flying it for one year now, and I also work as an engineer on oil tankers ( very large ocean going crude carriers) for almost 15 yrs now. Getting a drone onboard and flying it has its own challenges, landing is the least of them...
