I suppose you could attach an anemometer to a drone.Looking for a solution for measuring and mapping vaiations in local wind pressure using drones. Any ideas? thanks
One slight problem with that is the effect of the downdraft created by the 4 propellers ??I suppose you could attach an anemometer to a drone.
The Taylor turbine-type anemometers may not work as you have to have them pointed remotely and directly into the wind to measure the windspeed correctly- a horizontally mounted rotor works reguardless of wind direction. If you need micro measurements of wind, then a ultrasonic meter would work:

I would love to get a government grant to dissect this paper. I wasted so much time in higher education going to classes that I thought were so boring this would have been much more interesting than determining the mating habits of bull frogs.Here’s an interesting analysis of the methods. I used to do environmental analysis work and am really interested in this type of stuff, too!

I think this day and age it’s done thru artificial inseamnation so as not to offend any human.Hey! I used to teach that class! . But mine were better as I showed the videos!

If you mean wind speed, the aircraft already computes that continuously during flight, as does the AirData website.
The norm of acceptable error is plus minus five percentile. For flight control and navigation youd think greater precision than five. Its using gps, propulsion energies, to figure out how to either overcome or benefit from the local encountered gustingThat’s what said! How accurate do you those are?

I think he needs microhabitat quantitative wind measurements though, and yes- it can be fairly well estimated using a drone by its flight characteristics as mentioned in the paper I posted. Airdata does not record that information at different levels on a localized scale.
AirData does calculate those data throughout the flight wherever there is sufficiently stable flight or hover to have confidence in the calculation.
My mistake! I thought it was web based - havent used it so what do I know? I thought it was like UAV Forcast.
Does it tag the readings with elevation and position?
Can you post a sample output from the wind data?
Thanks!
