Micro-Drone Standardization (Sub-250g Drones)

Last updated 11 days ago

LayerDrone has standardized on the sub-250g class of drones, often referred to as micro-drones. This choice offers numerous advantages, particularly in regulatory compliance, ease of access, and operational flexibility.

  1. Compliance: Micro-drones often fall under less restrictive regulatory categories globally, reducing barriers for pilots and enabling a larger base of participants.

  2. Affordability and Accessibility: Smaller drones are generally more affordable and accessible, allowing individuals to participate in the network without significant investment.

  3. Safety and Flexibility: Micro-drones are easier to deploy in urban areas and other sensitive environments due to their small size and reduced risk. This allows for greater data capture opportunities, particularly in densely populated or hard-to-reach areas.
