Could the Yuneec Typhoon drone surpass DJI?

Could the Yuneec Typhoon drone surpass DJI?Now I will make a comparison here.

Yuneec Typhoon drone remains essentially true to itself, when it comes to the initial impression.

Automatic obstacle avoidance technology comes out from two top companies’ PK which has attracted us a lot. DJI obstacle avoidance uses its own Guidance technology which applied earliest into DJI wraf/weft M100 in 2015. DJI has once cooperated with Intel in this project. Until now, its automatic obstacle avoidance is really ripe.

Yuneec Typhoon drone develops obstacle avoidance based on camera of Real Sense of Intel. Intel RealSense module uses Intel sensing technology, which can integrate two infrared camera, an infrared emitter and a standard RGB camera information to GPU so as to build the 3D information. In enough sunlight, RealSense modules can recognize obstances in 10 meters and tell its shape and place. At night, RealSense module can feel the obstacle in about 5 meters with the help of active infrared transmitters. Intel Realsense module released early at CES in Jan, 2016. Yuneec Typhoon drone H has two versions, advanced version and professional version. Only two ultraviolet modules are on the front of Yuneec Typhoon drone H advanced version, which cause doubt in the effect of obstacle avoidance.

In addition, from the theory of obstacle avoidance, the active obstacle avoidance of DJI Phantom 4 uses visual perception system which can tell the obstacle distance in the front from 0.7m to 15 meters and brake or upward flying around obstacles. But Yuneec Typhoon drone H can use ultraviolet to avoid obstacle. It can avoid in 5 meters. But it is easy to disturb by the environment and ultraviolet perception is not better than vision.This kind of shortage can easily lead to the unstable avoidance function to occur brakes or failure.

We also care much about battery life.They are both 4s battery with similar capacity. However, the rotors design and heavier weight of Yuneec Typhoon drone H makes its battery life less than 4 minutes to 6 minutes than DJI Phantom 4. In aerial, the gap of 6 minutes sense is definitely different. So it not only affect the same flying time about taking off and landing, change of the electric frequency but also affects the aerial efficency directly. In additon, from charging time, Yuneec Typhoon drone H needs 2 hours to charge, but Phantom 4 only takes 1 hour.

Yuneec Typhoon drone H still continues Q500 4K configuration with built in 7inch remote control which can not reduce the comprehensive cost, but also reduce compatibility problem of mobile phone or tablet. From this point of view, Yuneec Typhoon drone H dominates. But this kind of design also brings inconvenience. For example, it can update the map real time, and not easy to share the photos in social media.

These comparisons shows that Yuneec Typhoon drone still has a long way to go to head the game.
