Through their years of experience operating drones, BAAM.Tech® recognized the fixed-wing drone solutions commercially available were not up to the task. Delta fixed-wings, due to their light bodies, are far too susceptible to wind and turbulence. The rocking motion they develop in flight disables the payload from collecting reliable data, and once the craft is in winds of 10mph or greater they are forced to land.

Higher end composite systems have good image quality, but require extremely large fields to land and sometimes require extra equipment for launching. Also all of these systems have NADIR (straight down) camera angles, which causes low quality 3D models and create less accurate models with vegetation.

BAAM.Tech™ recognizes the uncomfortable decision facing commercial surveyors in incorporating UAV into their operation, setting out to create an aircraft that addresses all problems facing survey grade drones.
