新型AI驱动垂直起降无人机系统，具备5G及超视距能力
New AI-Powered VTOL UAS with 5G & BVLOS Capabilities
Sky-Drones发布了Skylane，一款新型垂直起降无人机系统平套，设计用于长航程和超视距操作。该航行器有效载荷能力大且操作范围广，配备了各种各样的传感器和载荷，适用于检查、监视、测绘和货运。
Sky-Drones has launched SkyLane, a new VTOL UAS (unmanned aerial system) platform that has been designed from the ground up for long-endurance and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operations. With a large payload capacity and significant operational range, the aircraft can be equipped with a wide variety of sensors and payloads and is ideal for inspection, surveillance, and mapping, as well as cargo delivery.
SkyLane的驱动力来自Sky-Drones前沿的AIRlink装置，结合一台强大的AI任务计算机、无人机自动驾驶仪和5G连接。AIRlink 支持视频源的实时遥测和流式处理，并支持部署自定义软件。机载AI软件提供了一系列尖端能力，包括自主化、探测和追踪以及图像强化。它是一个可扩展的解决方案，支持多架无人机同时运行。
SkyLane is powered by Sky-Drones’ state-of-the-art AIRlink unit, incorporating a powerful AI mission computer, drone autopilot, and 5G connectivity. AIRlink enables real-time telemetry and streaming of video feeds, and enables custom software to be deployed. The onboard AI software provides a range of cutting-edge capabilities including autonomy, detection and tracking, and image enhancement. AIRlink is a scalable solution, allowing multiple UAVs to be run simultaneously.
该无人机系统还拥有一个全面的云基础软件套件，支持用户以三维模式计划任务，增加和调整航点。所有飞行日志都存储在云中，以便于访问，详细的分析保证了持续的性能优化并且及早地发现任何潜在问题。
The UAS also comes with a comprehensive cloud-based software suite, allowing users to plan missions in 3D and add and adjust waypoints. All flight logs are stored in the cloud for easy access, and detailed analytics ensure continued optimal performance and early detection of any potential issues.
Skylane这一电动平台提供2500和3500mm的翼展型号。SkyLane-250的有效载荷能力为1.2千克，航程达300千米，而SkyLane-350能够称重7千克，飞行航程达500千米。
The electrically-powered SkyLane platform is available in 2500 and 3500 mm wingspan variants. SkyLane-250 features a payload capacity of 1.2 kg and range of up to 300 km, while SkyLane-350 can carry 7kg and fly for up to 500 km.
SkyLane目前正在部署，作为海峡群岛项目的一部分，旨在根西岛和泽西岛之间建立一个快速的无人机运输网络。该项目由英国研究和创新资助。
SkyLane is currently being deployed as part of a project in the Channel Islands that is aiming to establish a rapid drone transportation network between Guernsey and Jersey. The project is funded by UK Research and Innovation (Innovate UK).
Alphabet无人机送货服务Wing计划进军爱尔兰市场
Alphabet’s drone delivery unit Wing plans to swoop into Irish market
该公司计划在都柏林附近的一个社区实行“有限的无人机送货示范”并表示这是其在爱尔兰实行计划的“第一步”。
The company is planning a ‘limited drone delivery demonstration’ in a community near Dublin and said this is a ‘first step’ for its plans in Ireland.
Alphabet正在爱尔兰测试其无人机送货服务Wing。
Alphabet is testing out its drone delivery service Wing in Ireland.
Wing发言人表示他们正在计划于都柏林附近的社区进行一个“有限的无人机送货示范”项目。在试验开始之前，该公司目前正在与当地利益相关者进行外展活动。
A Wing spokesperson told that it is planning a “limited drone delivery demonstration” in a community near Dublin. The company is currently engaged in outreach with local stakeholders before the trial is launched.
“我们相信在开展任何无人机送货服务之前，与当地社区进行协商是非常重要，我们现在正在进行该步骤。”
“We believe consultation with the local community before launching any sort of drone delivery service is important, and that process is underway now,” the spokesperson said.
他们还说道, Wing将有限示范作为公司在爱尔兰发展计划的“第一步”。
They added that Wing envisions the limited demonstration as a “first step” for the company’s ambitions in Ireland.
“我们看到欧盟在无人机法规方面取得的进展，并受之鼓舞，同时爱尔兰有着强大的无人机生态系统，促使我们为之吸引。我们已经开始在该区域广纳人才，并亟待加入当地蓬勃发展的无人机社区。”
“We’re encouraged by the progress on drone regulations we’ve seen in the EU, and Ireland has a strong drone ecosystem that makes it an attractive location for us,” the spokesperson said. “We’ve already begun the process of recruiting talent in the area, and we’re excited to join the thriving drone community there.”
Wing于2012作为X的一个项目开始，X是谷歌母公司Alphabet的实验性大胆创新部分，其首次实际配送于2014进行。在2018年，Alphabet成为拥有独立业务的公司，目前在澳大利亚、芬兰和美国开展业务。
Wing began in 2012 as a project at X, the experimental moonshot division of Google parent company Alphabet, and the first real-world deliveries took place in 2014. It became an independent Alphabet business in 2018 and currently operates in Australia, Finland and the US.
该公司配送产品种类繁多，包括药品、食品和书本，从今年三月份开始已完成超过20万次配送。
The company delivers a range of products such as medicine, food and books, with more than 200,000 flights completed by the start of March this year.
爱尔兰的无人机市场在不断扩大，其中的一个关键参与者是本土无人机送货初创公司Manna。
Ireland’s drone market is growing, with one of the key players being homegrown drone delivery start-up Manna.
创立于2018年，该企业自2019年起于Just Eat、Tesco和三星等合作，在爱尔兰不断进行技术试验。
Founded in 2018, this start-up has been trialling its technology across Ireland since 2019, partnering withJust Eat, Tesco, Samsung and more.
该爱尔兰初创公司去年在A轮融资中获得了2500万美元。八月份，该公司宣布计划在全世界扩大市场。
The Irish start-up secured$25m in a Series A round last year. In August, the company announced plans to expand internationally.
