Operational Impact
The integration of the Meteomatics weather API into Unisphere's NOVA platform has significantly improved the safety and efficiency of drone and air taxi flight operations. The platform's simulation technology allows for early flight simulations, evaluating various weather parameters and their impact on the feasibility of a flight. This has led to better flight time planning and the identification of alternative routes when necessary, greatly improving the planning of flight operations and reducing downtime due to maintenance. The platform also supports daily weather briefing and flight scheduling, improving situational awareness and flight safety. As a result, resources can be used much more efficiently, leading to significant cost savings. | |
Quantitative Benefit
NOVA Cast offers forecasts for flight simulations with a timeframe of up to one week in advance. | |
NOVA Aware supports the daily weather briefing as well as the scheduling of flights with a forecast period of 48 hours. | |
The Meteomatics weather API offers a resolution of 90 meters using downscaling. | |
