We've had it for a few weeks now and it's pretty cool. slightly different design you'll see on that, new aircraft. We also have much better flight time and the noise level is actually, quite different. Much, much, much lower. much easier to be around when you actually fly. also, the new, features on it is the goggles.
We have, new goggles that have a pass through function where you can actually see through a kind of like you do on some VR goggles, so you can see your surroundings from time to time. we also have a new controller that allows you to do some cool tricks. So make sure you check out the video. as far as the camera itself, we have a new sensor, one over 1.3in sensor, which is 12 megapixel, a better quality image.
And you can see we did a comparison footage as well. just so people can get an idea of what this looks like. And, yeah, that's a cool little drone. let's move on to the next story. And the second story this week is a cool one. So this is an m o c approval means of compliance approval for operations over people for a company based out of Canada, Avs and what they do is they have it's a parachute company.
And so what they've done is the FAA has granted them approval to do testing on drones in order to provide a D or C, which is the declaration of compliance. Now, if you're not familiar with the process, which is a bit complicated, in order to get a drone approved for, flying over people categorized drone, you need to first have an embassy means of compliance, meaning that you need to have a way to test the drone to prove that it's safe to fly over people.
And then after that, the FAA is going to review that approval and then say, well, yeah, now you can fly over people using a DACA, a declaration of compliance. Now, declaration of compliance are far and few between four categories. Drone. We only have one drone right now that's approved for the category three on the entire list. There's no cat two.
And look at three as far as means of compliance, it was one means of compliance that was approved, but not a whole lot of them. And now this is a new method that would be supposedly using a parachute in order to get declaration of compliance. Now, what this means is that more drones could get approved, including potentially. And I don't have any additional information on this potentially more DJI drones.
So, this will be interesting. We'll definitely keep you posted. we have an interview coming up with the person in charge of this company, and, hopefully we can get some more information. And the last story this week is kind of interesting. This is a drone that can charge on power lines. Now, at this stage, I think it was the University of Denmark.
they're able to get into a power line and can clip the power line in itself and then be able to recharge the drone. Now, it's still a proof of concept. Obviously, there's a lot of issues with, how long it actually takes to recharge the drone. in the testing that they did, they flew it a little bit and they clipped it.d
