Airbus Aerial Using Drones for Airport Mapping

drone over field

Airbus Aerial used a drone to provide a map of Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport. Aerial fuses satellite and drone data into custom-tailored, client-specific packages with easy-to-use interpretation tools.

The Aerial team used an autonomous senseFly eBee Plus drone with RTK GPS capabilities to capture aerial images of the runway with an accuracy of less than 5 cm. It is fully automated and can map an entire runway in one flight with a single operator.
The company plans to offer the service to other airports. It currently has clients in utilities, railroads, construction, and insurance.
