VTOL vs UAV Drone Payload

In the world of survey drones, major technological advancements have occurred over recent years. We have seen surges in payloads, aerial surveying capability, flight duration, flight distances and user operation technology Drones are essentially an aircraft that doesn’t have a human pilot onboard, instead, they are controlled by an autonomous onboard computer or an operator who is stationed on land. It is also common for most surveying UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) drones to be equipped with VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capabilities – as a matter of course in 2020. What is the Difference between VTOL and UAV in Aerial Surveying? We distinguish some drones used for aerial surveying as VTOL and some as standard UAV. It is important

From civilcad to MAGNET: A Survey CAD Software History

Relied upon by cadastral and topographic surveyors, engineers, architects and drafters, CAD software is used to create and manage plans or projects in a digital format. The software available on the market today has come a long way from the early years of computer programs. In this article we’ll step through the evolution of civilcad, a popular and Australian-developed solution that has a long history and is today known as MAGNET Office, which now forms part of the MAGNET Systems Workflow. Cliff Stewart is a land and mine surveyor with more than 30 years’ experience in land development projects. During his career, he’s also worked on 13 mine sites and is authorised for all aspects of underground and
