Fee Structure & Revenue Model
Example Scenario 1 (Phase 1 - MVP completed)
2 drones + 4 charging stations
Assumptions
Cost per minute of flight: 1$ /minute
Number of flights in a month (all drones): 600 flights /month
Average flight duration: 30m
Recharge time: 1 hour
Charging Station Cost: $ 5,000
Miner ROI: 12 Months
Calculations
Total flight time in a month: 18,000 minutes
Revenue from flights: $ 18,000$ /month
Miner uptime incentive: $ 417 (to respect the ROI time)
Miner estimated charging cost: 8$ /month (estimated 150 recharges /month )
Total miner incentives: 4 x $ 417 = $ 1668 /month
Annual Revenue: 216,000 $ /year (Profit: ~196,000 $)
Example Scenario 2 (Phase 2 - 1st smart city in production)
7 drones + 20 charging stations
Cost per minute of flight: 1$ /minute
Number of flights in a month (all drones): 2100 flights /month
Average flight duration: 30m
Recharge time: 1 hour
Charging Station Cost: $ 5,000
Miner ROI: 12 Months
Calculations
Total flight time in a month: 63,000 minutes
Revenue from flights: 63,000$ /month
Miner uptime incentive: $ 417 (to respect the ROI time)
650$ (1 station uptime)
Miner estimated charging cost: 8$ /month (estimated 150 recharges /month )
Total miner incentives: 20 x $ 417 = $ 8,340 /month
Annual Revenue: 756,000$ /year (Business Profit: ~656,000 $)
