The New Model T’s I know I’m ahead of the game—but not by much. The world of The Jetsons is fast approaching. Unbeknownst to most of the world, the eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-OH and Landing) vehicle—also known as the air taxi—is already here. The technology isn’t new. The only things slowing widespread […]
In 2025, we flew 22 of Glenwood’s residential buildings to capture footage that could be used to update and rebrand their building tour content. With each fly taking 1-2 months to be approved by the FAA and NYPD Drone Unit, and working around weather and wind limitations in each 1-5 […]
This caught my eye and this site is worth looking through.
We recently flew an impressive residential skyscraper in the Wall Street area, in fact one block from the Stock Exchange. Needless to say, the permissions aren’t simple. After seeking and receiving a waiver from the FAA for this special no-fly area of downtown (my partner is a retired USAF Lt. […]
This illustrates some of the concerns of hiring a drone operator for the first time. This is our proprietary score sheet based in USAF protocols.
In March 2025, we went to Madison, Wisconsin for a multi-day carbon composite materials class and manufactured drone parts by hand, so that we could develop a real-world (not theoretical) understanding of the challenges of producing safe eVTOL vehicles. Next generation materials are crucial to this industry, to lower weight […]
In Autumn 2025, we did a permitted fly of the Gowanus Canal. One of the buildings on the Canal is a non-profit arts center, PowerHouse Arts, that we were able to develop a teaser video for, utilizing some of the Canal footage. Because the physical structure of PHA is so […]
AlchemyRE is a ground-up overhaul of our platforms equinoxportal.com and homvid.io. Homvid.io was developed during the early pandemic to manage the complex workflow of assets needed in building apartment, and later building, and neighborhood tour videos. Using requirements gained from operating these systems with an average monthly database of 35,000 […]
James Haig was a highly regarded senior flight instructor in the USAF, familiar with all aspects of curriculums, simulations, flys, and testing. These are his notes about the similar requirements for pilots of autonomous flying vehicles.
3-D Geopositioned Object LIDAR De-conflicted Network (3DGOLDN) This code is designed to integrate user-defined paths with LiDAR data, visualize them in a 3D space, and detect conflicts between various paths and LiDAR data points. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the code, its functions, and capabilities: Main Workflow Capabilities This code […]
