[A general focus but very interesting and informative]
“James Morrison, head pilot and UAS ("Unmanned Aircraft System") lead at Ordnance Survey, discusses the use of drones in mapping and surveying. He shares examples of how drones were used to quickly assess landslips and update mapping in the Isle of Wight, as well as capture data for residential housing developments. James explains the different types of drones used by Ordnance Survey and their capabilities, including capturing imagery with centimeter-level accuracy…” #GIS#spatial#mapping#OSRapidMapping#engineeringgeology#remotsesensing#UAV#drone#survey#UK#England#UAS#aerial#usecase#efficiency#podcast @OS
While he started three years prior, Otto Lilienthal took the invented glider on his first successful flight in 1894. It wasn't much more than 7 Seconds, but his achievement changed the world of aviation forever. Even the Wright brothers been well aware of the "flying man" from Berlin, but the TNYT missed to mention the pioneers like Lilienthal and Gustav Whitehead, five years after the very first motor flight, in their front page report about the Wright apparatus 1906.
However, in 2024 we can celebrate the 130th anniversary of this historic event and share our #Liliental portrait with you.

St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral. One of the many beautiful and elaborate churches in the Cleveland area. Completed in 1913 and considered one of the finest examples of Russian church architecture in the US. This church appeared in the 1978 film "The Deer Hunter".
