A team led by TOYO Corporation observed downdrafts using drones and proceeded with demonstration data acquisition of data essential to V-port construction. The effort confirmed the effectiveness of the on-site measurement method.
A team including TOYO Corporation conducted a demonstration of on-site data acquisition to measure downdrafts related to V-port construction. Using drones, the team attempted to capture the cross-section and fluctuations of the airflow.
The demonstration specifically covered how the measurement equipment was mounted and the procedures for acquiring data, and the reliability and reproducibility of the data under on-site conditions were reportedly verified. This suggests that data useful for the structural design and safety assessment of V-ports may be accumulated.
Further updates are expected to provide details on methods for analysing the acquired data and examples of applications at other sites, while the spread and implementation of related technologies will be closely watched.
