Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does Preflight Labs simulate a flight?
Preflight Labs uses advanced computational models to simulate drone performance under a wide range of conditions, ensuring accurate predictions of motor compatibility, battery life, action capabilities, consumption rates, voltages and propeller efficiency.
2. Why is the Flight Simulator a great tool for your sales?
Because with a few essential inputs, you will know in seconds if the requirements of the customers would fit or not.
3. Who can use Preflight Labs calculators?
Drone manufacturers, R&D teams, marketing and sales teams, consultants, motor manufacturers, product managers, quality assurance specialists, educational institutions, system design engineers, people who are responsible for the component selection, configuration and benchmarking.
4. What do I need to start a simulation?
You'll need to provide the basic specifications of your drone, including motor type, battery specs, intended actions, and propeller dimensions. Our platform guides you through the process step-by-step.

6. I'd like to upgrade, what should I do?
Just 'Book a Demo' and let's meet. This will take you to our scheduling page on Calendly, where you can choose a time that works best for you.
7. How does Preflight Labs ensure the accuracy of its simulations?
Preflight Labs uses state-of-the-art simulation technologies, combined with an extensive database of drone components and performance metrics. Our simulations are continuously validated against real-world data to ensure high accuracy.
8. What if the simulation results indicate my battery won't suffice?
You might consider adjusting your flight scenario or vehicle components. You might reduce the payload weight, choose a battery with a higher capacity, or optimize the route for efficiency.
9. What are Station Locations?
Station Locations refer to user-defined geographic points where drone operations are planned to take place during a flight. These locations can include takeoff, landing zones, hover points, waypoints for navigation during the flight. In the context of Preflight Labs' simulations, specifying Station Locations allows our system to more accurately model the flight.
