Synopsis: Aeronautics: Aeronautics generale: Avionics:

and cools in response to the outside air temperature it expands and contracts causing the bellows to do the same.

That means any slight shift in an office building s air conditioning or the natural outside air temperature during the course of a day would be more than enough to activate the chemical in the bellows.

and customize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS) for multiple applications. Today, hundreds of companies worldwide are making drones for infrastructure inspection, crop-and livestock-monitoring,

The key component is the startup Linux-based autopilot device, a small red box that is installed into all of a client drones. his is responsible for flying the vehicle in a safe, reliable manner,

Another UAV maker, Cyber Technology in Australia, is using the platform for drones responding to car crashes and other disasters,

A five-year stretch at Boeing as an engineer for the U s. military A160 Hummingbird UAV and as a commercial pilot put Downey in contact with drone manufacturers, who,

were still using black boxes or open-source designs. hey were basically facing the same challenges we faced as undergrads at MIT,

Additionally, it could help the Federal aviation administration (FAA) better assess the reliability of drones; Congress recently tasked the agency with compiling UAV rules and regulations by 2015.

This could also help promote commercial drone use in the United states, which lags behind other countries around the world, primarily in Europe,

it is an innovative new concept for an unmanned vehicle (UAV) from NASA's Langley Research center in Hampton, Virginia.

"We did lose some of the early prototypes to'hard landings'as we learned how to configure the flight control system.

"An additional strength is the UAV's lack of noise inflight, said Frederiks.""It's pretty quiet.

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,

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 that this version works only at relatively high frequencies. However, he adds that here could be plenty of room to optimize the design for size in the future. his article is reproduced with permission

"We did lose some of the early prototypes to'hard landings'as we learned how to configure the flight control system.

They have demonstrated the feasibility of making microwave biodegradable thin-film transistors from a transparent, flexible biodegradable substrate made from inexpensive wood, called cellulose nanofibrillated fiber (CNF).
