If you don't want to ask anyone in particular, you can ask yourself other feasibility questions like:
-how heavy will it be? will it affect the flight of the plane?
-how much do current planes cost? how does that compare to the cost of adding a camera device?
-how many people fly planes? how many planes do they have?
-how often do people crash planes, and why do they crash? how expensive is it to fix? how does this cost compare to a camera that could prevent a crash?
my initial guess is that there is no feasible business model there, but what if you twist your idea around a bit? such as sharing videos of airplane flights? and modifying video equipment so that it could be installed on model airplanes? that could potentially be useful.
- amichail 19y agoIf the onboard camera is a problem, then I could just have a camera on the ground. The idea here is to allow people to profit from their hobby by letting thousands of people fly their planes. And those people can do so from the comfort of their homes at their computers. You might have a free service where people fly a plane together in a collaborative way. If you want more control over the plane, then you will need to pay. You might be able to fly for free if you can demonstrate that your flying skills will draw a large audience.
