Abstract
Power line inspection by unmanned aerial vehicles brings into play the perspectives of electricity companies (the potential end-user), civil UAV systems manufacturers (potential technology suppliers) and the regulatory authorities. This paper addresses these themes in the context of a new concept for UAV power line inspection that is based on a small, electrically driven rotorcraft drawing its power from the overhead lines.
