Why train with a simulator?

  • Safe practice without damage or repairs

  • Low cost, no maintenance

  • Accessible anywhere ā€“ even on a Steam Deck

  • Repeat difficult maneuvers until you master them

Our favorite: Uncrashed FPV Drone Simulator

We currently use Uncrashed FPV Drone Simulator, available on Steam. Key advantages:

  • Realistic flight physics

  • Beautiful, varied environments

  • Suitable for beginners and advanced users alike

  • Fully compatible with FPV remotes or Steam Deck

The simulator helps you develop natural reflexes that translate directly into better control during real-world flights.

Will We Soon Be Flying Above the Traffic in Our Own Personal Drone?

Imagine this: no more endless traffic jams or grumpy honking. Instead, you gently lift off from your backyard in your sleek personal drone.
Coffee secured, laptop packed, sunglasses on… and off you go ā€“ soaring like a modern urban eagle.

Science fiction? Not anymore! Thanks to innovative companies like Ehang, the dream of personal air taxis is much closer than you might think.

But before you start alarming your neighbors mid-takeoff, letā€™s take a closer look.

What Are Personal Passenger Drones?

The photos show prototypes of personal drones ā€“ think giant quadcopters designed for human passengers.
And no, these arenā€™t tricked-out selfie drones, but fully electric aerial vehicles:

  • Four (or more) propellers lifting you safely into the skies.

  • Fully electric drive, meaning clean, quiet flights.

  • Autonomous or semi-autonomous, so you won’t need to dust off your pilotā€™s license.

The most famous candidate? The Ehang 184, first presented in 2016 and now finally flying real people during manned test flights.

Live Monitoring During Our Drone Flights: An Extra Service for Our Clients

At DroneView.be, we are constantly striving to improve our services. We understand how important it is to have real-time insights during an inspection or search and rescue operation. Thatā€™s why we have recently added an external 32ā€ monitor to our equipment, allowing you to follow our drone flights live.

Why an External Monitor?

During construction inspections, the monitor provides immediate visual access to the images captured by the drone. This allows you to assess project progress on-site and take action if necessary. Not only does this simplify decision-making, but it also ensures greater transparency and involvement.

In search and rescue operations, speed is crucial. By following the live images directly on the monitor, rescue teams and stakeholders can immediately respond to what the drone captures. This saves valuable seconds and enables faster action.

Improve Your Homeā€™s Energy Efficiency This Winter with a Drone Insulation Inspection

The winter season brings not only the cold but also the perfect conditions for evaluating your homeā€™s insulation. When outside temperatures drop, any potential heat loss points in your home become more apparent, especially with advanced drone-based thermal inspections. These inspections help identify exactly where heat escapes, which not only drives up energy costs but also reduces home comfort. Droneview.be provides these inspection services to pinpoint heat loss accurately, making your home more energy-efficient.

Why get an insulation inspection now?

With rising energy costs, even minor heat loss can significantly impact your energy bills. A well-insulated house not only retains heat but also creates a more comfortable living environment. With our drone inspections, youā€™ll get a clear overview of your home’s insulation quality, showing where improvements can be made.

What can our drones detect?

  • Heat leaks: Our thermal cameras show where heat escapes, such as roofs, walls, windows, or doors.
  • Thermal bridges: Areas where heat escapes due to structural issues, such as connections between walls and roofs.
  • Insufficient insulation: Quickly identify areas where additional insulation is needed for targeted improvements.

The right-hand house in the image below clearly has single glazing, while the left-hand house is fitted with double glazing.
