Numerous airlines, including AFI-KLM, Avianca, Airbus and El Al Israel Airlines, are now inspecting their aircraft with Donecle drones.  Drones are better inspectors because of speed, ease of access to upper surfaces, and they provide a complete snapshot of the aircraft.  But drones must be stable enough to yield precise images, so Donecle developed laser positioning with onboard sensors ‘seeing’ the environment and positioning the drone relative to the aircraft with high accuracy. This in turn yields several benefits: full drone automation with no separate pilot; highly repeatable inspections; and precisely positioned images. Donecle’s first patent, which describes their inspection process, has just issued.  Donecle is also inspecting military aircraft, which means we will soon have drones inspecting drones.
