Calculate safe drone flight distances with RangeSight – a physics-based range calculator that shows you exactly how far your drone can fly and return home safely.
🚁 WHAT IS RANGESIGHT?
RangeSight answers one critical question: "Can my drone safely reach this location and return home?" Using advanced physics modeling, it calculates your drone's operational range based on real-world conditions like wind, temperature, battery state, and payload weight.
⚡ CORE FEATURES
PHYSICS-BASED RANGE CALCULATOR
• Out-and-back range calculations with return safety margins
• Bidirectional wind modeling (headwind vs. tailwind)
• Crosswind energy loss penalties
• Battery consumption modeling (hover, cruise, climb)
• Environmental efficiency factors (temperature, humidity, altitude)
INTERACTIVE RANGE VISUALIZATION
• Color-coded concentric range rings showing safe return zones
• Green (25%+ battery), Yellow (10-20%), Red (under 10%)
• One-way maximum range indicator
• Wind direction arrow overlay
COMPREHENSIVE DRONE DATABASE
• 30+ pre-loaded profiles for DJI, Autel, Skydio, Parrot, and more
• All drone models available for free
• Battery cycle degradation tracking

⚙️ HOW IT WORKS
1. Select your drone model (or build a custom profile)
2. Enter or fetch live weather conditions
3. Set altitude, cruise speed, and/or payload weight
4. View color-coded range rings on interactive map
5. Plan flights within safe return zones
⚠️ IMPORTANT
• Always check NOTAMs and airspace restrictions
• Comply with all local drone regulations
• This is a planning tool, not autopilot software
🛠️ REQUIREMENTS
• Android 7.0+ • GPS • Internet for weather/maps • Offline mode available
