Robert Goodwill MP Visits Local Technology Firm that’s Flying High!

SyntheSys Systems Engineers Ltd recently hosted Robert Goodwill Conservative MP for Scarborough and Whitby and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Transport.

SyntheSys’ main business is ICT consultancy providing innovative systems and training solutions, although this is not all that the Company does.  During a tour of the Company’s head office at St Hilda’s Business Centre, Mr Goodwill was able to meet SyntheSys’ latest recruit, Daniel Spilman, who is already taking the Company to new heights.

Dan graduated from Leeds University with a Masters in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering and was awarded the IMechE best project certificate for 4th year Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering.  Since joining the company in October 2013 Dan has been working closely with the Managing Director, Dr John Hartas, in the Company’s work in the unmanned vehicles market.  Dan has a keen interest in this field and has subsequently designed and manufactured a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is capable of providing a wide range of applications in aerial work.  He has also qualified as a Civil Aviation Authority approved UAV pilot to enable him to operate the UAV commercially.

The solutions that Dan has brought to the company were of particular interest to Mr Goodwill, since his role at the Department of Transports relates specifically to aviation and the introduction of new legislation governing the operation of UAVs.

SyntheSys’ Managing Director, John Hartas commented.  “Dan’s contribution has helped us to diversify into the civilian UAV market, which holds a lot of new potential for us.  It was great for us to discuss this initiative with our local MP who was able to bring fresh insights into how this market is developing.”

SyntheSys’ Resolution UAV services are currently being used locally in a range of different projects including aerial photography, surveying, mapping and advertising schemes.

Mānava - Endeavour is Exploring from a New Perspective

‘’Do just once what others say you can’t do and you will never pay attention to their limitations again.’’

- Captain James Cook

On the 246^th Anniversary of Captain James Cooks arrival in Tahiti on 13^th April 1769, as part of his maiden voyage, it’s time to celebrate the launch of Resolution UAV Services. So here we say a big ‘Mānava’ (which is the Tahitian for ‘Welcome’) to you on this memorable day for us!!

Who are we and what do we do?

Resolution UAV Services is based in the small seaside town of Whitby, and is so named for the second ship that the explorer Captain Cook took on a round the world Voyage.  The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that we use to capture aerial images and video is named Endeavour, which was the ship Cook sailed on his first world voyage.

We have extensive knowledge and experience in aerial videography and photography.  We are fully licensed having completed the relevant BNUC-S courses and our services operate in accordance with the regulations set by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).  As part of our UAV expertise, we provide knowledge and experience in the operation, design and manufacture of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as part of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s (NATO’s) Industrial Advisory Group (NIAG).  We strive to produce the highest quality aerial footage at very competitive prices, with the aim of providing a versatile solution to any problem.

Whilst our location may not be quite as exotic as Tahiti, it’s fair to say our base here in Whitby has given us plenty of inspiration and opportunity for launching our new UAV Services, some of which we wanted to share with you.

To celebrate our launch and demonstrate some of the diverse ways that Resolution UAV Services could be of benefit to our community, we took a trip to the nearby village of Runswick.  We had some fun recreating our company logo and captured some great footage of this beautiful location, during which attention was drawn to an unexpected onlooker.

Following a slow approach, so as not to alarm or distress the curious seal, the pilot took the UAV to a safe distance.  This little fellow did not seem to mind the presence of Endeavour and watched the UAV with interest as it hung in the air in front of it.  The pilot did not fly too close to the seal, nor did he linger too long as he did not want to upset the animal, but the footage obtained was none the less impressive.

So here’s to Captain James Cook, Tahiti, Runswick and our new friend!
