# Humongous Agricultural Drones The eBee Fixed-Wing Drone Helps Map Agricultural Territories By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-10-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agricultural-drone References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/sensefly-ebee-plus/45801/) & [sensefly](https://www.sensefly.com/nc/news-single/article/sensefly-to-unveil-new-rtkppk-ready-large-coverage-mapping-drone-at-intergeo-2016.html) The eBee Plus is an innovative and upgraded agricultural drone that is designed to function as the successor to the successful eBee fixed-wing drone originally released by senseFly some years ago. What makes the eBee Plus a significant upgrade is the fact that it features a significantly boosted wingspan of 100 cm as well as an increased flight range of just short of an hour, making it possible for the drone to map out up to 540 acres of land in a single mission. What's more, this agricultural drone is equipped with a [camera and sensor mechanism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-mini-5-pro) that is capable of capturing images at a resolution of 2.9 cm from a height of 122 meters. This drone is a great example of the latest [flight technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsmall-drone) being leveraged in the agricultural and farming sectors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Increased Flight Range:** The eBee Plus agricultural drone boasts an increased flight range of almost an hour, enabling it to map larger areas of land in a single mission. - **Enhanced Imaging Capabilities:** Equipped with a high-resolution camera and sensor mechanism, the eBee Plus can capture detailed images at a resolution of 2.9 cm from a height of 122 meters. - **Integration of Flight Technologies:** The eBee Plus showcases the latest flight technologies being utilized in the agricultural and farming sectors. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Agriculture:** The eBee Plus agricultural drone offers farmers the opportunity to efficiently map out large territories and monitor crop health from the sky. - **Farming:** With its extended flight range and advanced imaging capabilities, the eBee Plus drone provides farmers with valuable insights for optimized crop management. - **Technology:** The eBee Plus exemplifies the integration of flight technologies in the agricultural industry, opening up avenues for further innovations and efficiency improvements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Rotor Agricultural Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualrotor-agricultural-drone.md) - [Commercial Aerial Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ageagle.md) - [Enterprise-Ready Drone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-matrice-400.md) - [Enterprise-Grade Drone Mapping Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-zenmuse-l3.md) - [Heavy Payload-Accommodating Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-drone.md) - [Flying Fruit-Harvesting Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tevel-far-drone.md) - [Carbon-Caged Mapping Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mapping-drone.md) - [Autonomous Commercial-Ready Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixar-007.md) - [Natural Environment-Analyzing Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edrone.md)
