Where are you a little over a year after it was announced that the first robotic insect took flight?
lightweight enough to permit flight. Hexagonal micro-truss structure about 30 millionths of a meter wide.
or underwatered. hey don have to know the flight algorithms, or underlying hardware, they just need to connect their software or piece of hardware to the platform,
"Successful flight tests have not only demonstrated its hovering capabilities during its vertical takeoff--the way a helicopter does
"During the flight tests we successfully transitioned from hover to wing-borne flight like a conventional airplane then back to hover again.
So far we have done this on five flights, "said Bill Fredericks, one of the aerospace engineers working on the project, in a NASA press release."
Commercial businesses can now license Airware Flight Core autopilot technology, Ground Control Station for dispatching drones,
the Flight Core autopilot system, which provides the brains to each drone that Airware powers,
and ensure theye complying with flight regulations. Rather than having to pre-program a drone,
and dig sites using flight plans generated Airware Ground Control Station. Users simply draw out a geofence for the drone to stay within
It was easily the most exciting flight of the day, launching via a catapult, flying several quick passes around the the whole area,
which will provide a full-on Linux computer for developers to work with in addition to the standard Flight Core autopilot and Ground Control Station integration.
and would not cost much more than today long-haul flights. Fuel factorjohan Steelant, a senior research engineer at the European space agency (Esa) and coordinator of Lapcat-II,
liquid hydrogen fuel is not highly combustible mid-flight. Although hydrogen can be ignited, the risks of an explosion or fire are lower compared to conventional airline kerosene fuel.
The Hytex turbojet engine has been tested successfully in a flight experiment which simulates speeds up to Mach 1. 8. Hytex uses liquid hydrogen both as a fuel
#Flight Flies on 100 Percent Biofuels This week saw the first-ever completely biofuel-powered flight take place.
The National Research Council of Canada conducted the first flight on 100 percent renewable, drop in biofuel on its Falcon 20 jet, according to oilprice. com, marking a huge milestone for the aviation and renewable energy industries.
Previously, flights on biofuels had been limited to a 50 percent blend with petroleum making this a major breakthrough.
Progress in biofuel-powered flights and the Navy continued pursuit of alternative energy are great steps to help the United states build a biobased economy
NASA Drone Advances Unmanned Craft A huge, 10-engine drone dubbed"Greased Lightning"successfully completed a series of flight tests recently,
"Over the course of five flight tests, the drone was able to take off and hover like a helicopter,
After initial test flights in 2011 an updated version was shown off recently at the Paris airshow.
