@NOAAClimate What is the range of autonomous aircraft? What maximum winds can they withstand? #ClimateQA
Great question! There are three different UAS operating for #NOAA_ATOMIC and #EUREC4A (EU counterpart). The RAAVEN (@NOAA/@CUBoulder ) can fly for approximately 2.5 hours at 18 m/s = 160 km!pic.twitter.com/pQxOJp3d0d

We routinely fly the aircraft in winds up to 30 mph. Ultimately, the aircraft could fly in 100 mph winds, but it would just be flying backwards relative to the ground!

RAAVEN (developed/operated by
@cuiriss) is used in a wide variety of environments. Besides the tropics, it has also been deployed for severe storms research (tornadic supercells) in the US midwest, and is taking part in a very large Arctic campaign (MOSAiC) 3/4#ClimateQA - Näytä vastaukset
