    DroneTalks | The future of drone flight control with Fusion Engineering

    DroneTalks | The future of drone flight control with Fusion Engineering

    Drones struggling with external disturbances? Not anymore, thanks to Fusion Reflex, expertly crafted by FusionEngineering

    Robert Crone, CEO of the company introduces their breakthrough in drone flight control technology. Developed from advanced research at TU Delft, this system is specifically engineered to address the challenge of maintaining flight stability in the face of sudden gusts and turbulent weather. This means smoother flights and precise control in conditions that would ground other drones.

    A key milestone on Fusion Engineering's horizon is obtaining SIL 4 certification for the Fusion Reflex system, which underscores the company's commitment to meeting the highest safety and reliability standards, paving the way for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights over urban areas - a transformative development for the drone industry.

    Dive deeper into their innovative journey and strategic vision for the future of drone technology in our latest interview!
