Sir Tony Robinson presents the second series of Hidden Britain by Drone on Channel 4. Almost all the flying in the series was done by Spider Aerial Filming, one of the most experienced aerial filming companies in the world and well known for their extreme flying abilities. Whilst some smaller aircraft were used, most of the footage was captured using their pair of Vulcan Black Widow X8s. Not only did they capture hours of stunning footage for the features in the show, they included plenty of spectacular air to air filming of the Black Widows in action!

Congratulations to team Ocuair on their incredible achievement having successfully made the first English Channel crossing by a multi rotor drone. The flight distance was 35 Kms and was completed in 72 mins. Amazingly the drone still had nearly 30 mins flight time left after the crossing!
The aircraft itself was a large custom quad designed specially for the task by Vulcan UAV, and we are very proud to have been part of this milestone in the history of drone flight. Well done Ocuair!!

Vulcan UAV exhibit at the Commercial UAV Show, Excel Centre London October 2015. Once again the Vulcan stand was one of the busiest at the show! On display the Raven with the Gremsy H16 gimbal, the Black Widow V2, and the new AirLift 2 ’30 / 30′ spec, designed to carry a 30 Kg payload for up to 30 mins. Also on display was the LDH8 fitted with the RouteScene LidarPod. Great show and thanks to all who came to visit us.

The BioCarbon Engineering project goes from strength to strength with International innovation prizes and support & funding from FOUNDER.ORG.
Now the Science Museum has felt it worthy of a full interactive display in the ‘Antenna’ section on the ground floor.
Check it out!

Vulcan UAV will be exhibiting at the Commercial UAV Show at the Excel Centre Docklands, London October 20th and 21st 2015. Come and see us on Stand 37a. We will also be doing a flight demo with Amimon featuring their great HD downlink, the Connex, and our new Sub 7 Kg aircraft.

The show will also feature the launch of the new AirLift 2, ultra heavy lift….

Vulcan UAV are very pleased to announce our participation in the new European project DigiArt due to run for the next three years! DigiArt is an EU funded project that seeks to provide a new, cost efficient  solution to the capture, processing and display of cultural artefacts. It offers innovative 3D capture systems and methodologies, including aerial capture using drones, automatic registration and modelling techniques to speed up post-capture processing, semantic image analysis to extract features from digital 3D representations, a “story telling engine” offering a pathway to a deeper understanding of art, and also augmented / virtual reality technologies offering advanced abilities for viewing, or interacting with the 3D models.

The Vulcan Black Widow featured on NBC world news along with it’s owner, Ben Shepard from Spider Aerial Filming.

Vulcan UAV exhibit at the Commercial UAV Show, Olympia London.
The show was a great success with Vulcan being one of the busiest stands at the show! We displayed a range of new and existing products, including the first of the new AirLift series prototypes for super heavy lift. Big thanks also to Ibrahim from Ascension films for bringing his working Raven complete with Ronin gimbal and Black Magic Cinema camera with 200mm lens. Also displayed was the V1 prototype designed to carry the new LidarPod from RouteScene, the first fully functional UAV based lidar 3D mapping system.

Vulcan Black Widow X8, in the very capable hands of the guys at Spider Aerial Filming, used to fly into the heart of a major fireworks display at Southport. Fireworks seen as never before!
