A project for incorporating dead birds into flapping-wing drones might enable new ways of stealthily snooping on wildlife – and possibly spying on people for military purposes. Continue reading
In recent years, global health security has been threatened by the geographical expansion of vector-borne infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika and chikungunya. Continue reading
Mississippi State University (MSU) has once again been tapped to lead a major uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) research, testing and evaluation project on behalf of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Continue reading
Aerial robots can autonomously collect temporal and spatial high-resolution environmental data. This data can then be utilized to develop mathematical ecology models to understand the impact of climate change on our habitat. Continue reading
The MIT Lincoln Lab has produced some new devices for aircraft and drones that make some impressive efficiency gains and are radically quieter. Continue reading
Birds fly more efficiently by folding their wings during the upstroke, according to a recent study led by Lund University in Sweden. The results could mean that wing-folding is the next step in increasing the propulsive and aerodynamic efficiency of flapping drones.
Market Research firm FACT MR has just published a study on the booming drone propellers market, which is estimated to reach valuation of US$ 867.4 million in 2023 and will top US$ 4,388.2 million by 2033, growing with a CAGR of around 17.6 % from 2023-2033. Continue reading
