In this video, Tyto Robotics tests the DJI Mini 4 Pro drone in three different turbulent airflow conditions using the Windshaper 6×6, examining how the aircraft responds to gusts, static checkered patterns, and dynamic checkered patterns.
The Windshaper 6×6 features more than 300 individually controllable fans, allowing different airflow conditions to be generated for drone testing. The team evaluates the drone’s stability and ability to maintain its position under each turbulence pattern, comparing its predicted behavior with its actual response.
The tests reveal several unexpected results, including substantial initial displacement during gust testing and less movement than anticipated under dynamic checkered airflow. Tyto Robotics highlights the importance of controlled wind testing in understanding drone performance and assessing aircraft responses to challenging airflow conditions.
