Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 140 rows came out of a blueprint — 27 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each delivery must have a scheduled time window.
  • No flight path may overlap restricted zones.
  • Battery level must meet minimum threshold before dispatch.
  • Weather constraints are recorded for each scheduled flight.
  • Drone payload must not exceed maximum weight limit.
