Aerial mapping company Bluesky is celebrating following its most successful flying season to date. As temperatures soared, Bluesky took to the skies deploying three dedicated survey aircraft. To date, Bluesky has captured more than 70,000 square kilometres of aerial photography in 2017 – an area more than twice the size of the Netherlands – of which more than half is at ultra-high (12.5cm) resolution. In addition to aerial photography, Bluesky’s survey planes have also been simultaneously capturing data for the creation of detailed 3D height models and Colour Infrared imagery. Coverage of the 2017 Bluesky flying includes the urban areas of Leeds, Bradford, Norwich and Milton Keynes, as well as large swathes of the south-west of England, including Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. Bluesky has also been active in Ireland, capturing nearly 30,000 square kilometres of imagery, more than 40 percent of its three year target. Full coverage of Ireland is expected to be achieved early in the 2018 flying season. www.bluesky-world.com
