100-km-Pipeline in one Flight

On behalf of a major gas supplier, the Songbird has proven its long-distance capability.

Since pipelines in Germany run underground in many places, special inspection measures are necessary. Unannounced construction work, for example, can become a major hazard, which is why the routes must be checked regularly for such activities or other hazards. The coordinates of each pipe secdtion can be easily entered into the Germandrones Ground Control Station in order to plan a route for a corresponding inspection.

During the flight, which lasted more than 90 minutes, a complete, georeferenced photo series over 100 km was recorded, on the basis of which the inspection can be carried out without on-site personnel. The data can be processed using AI methods.

The operator in the current project plans to operate UAS in the long term from a few bases that are widely distributed in the network. Therefore, the ability of the VTOL to travel long distances non-stop is a prerequisite.
