IntelligentUAS

It’s that point of 12 months once more – time to evaluation what you possibly can (and can’t) do with a drone for Thanksgiving dinner prep.   That’s proper, there are YouTube movies on the best way to hunt a turkey, prepare dinner a turkey, and even make mashed potatoes and gravy.

Unless you are attempting to create a humorous advertising video (and have very, very understanding housemates) it may be finest simply to work on utilizing your drone as some kind of Pinterest-worthy centerpiece.  (Go forward and search – there’s nothing new below the solar.)  But for the leisure and edification of these pilots who view the vacation primarily as a day without work for extra drone time, listed below are some not superb concepts for utilizing drones on Thanksgiving.

Cooking the Turkey

The staff at IntelligentUAS revealed a video final 12 months of an professional flyer utilizing a drone to dip a turkey into a deep fryer.  Possible, sure – however until you possibly can arrange your fryer in the course of a discipline, have an industrial power drone and are keen to sacrifice three -Four birds to observe and accidents you may be higher off simply utilizing a kitchen glove.

The different method of cooking a turkey with a drone is to equip the drone with a do-it-yourself flamethrower and roast it (to cinders, apparently.  This methodology is evidently finest for vegetarians.)  The flamethrower turkey roasting video revealed in 2015 by a CT teen really landed the teenager and his household in court docket and in deep trouble with each native legislation enforcement and the FAA, in order that one ought to most likely be crossed off your listing.

Cooking Everything Else

In a nice video produced by the advertising staff at Autel Robotics final 12 months, an Autel drone is used to peel potatoes, chop carrots, and – geared up with kitchen beaters as a substitute of props – whip up a creamy mash and gravy.  But, in talking with the chef final 12 months, he did inform DRONELIFE that it took a full day to scrape the ensuing mess off of the ceiling and partitions of his kitchen.

And lastly, let’s not overlook one other actually dangerous use of drones: Hunting the turkey.  We’re not going to re-publish the video as a result of it’s illegal in lots of states to make use of a drone for looking.  (It could be exhausting to seek out this as a result of it’s usually filed below Fish and Game legal guidelines reasonably than drone-related legal guidelines – should you’ve ever thought-about this examine your state.)  Even if it isn’t unlawful the place you reside, with all the capabilities that drones have for aerial imaging and even thermographic imagery utilizing one to trace a hen with a mind the scale of a walnut simply isn’t honest.
