This remarkable miniature rotorcraft is so lightweight and efficient that it can lift its own mass given nothing but sunlight. The entire thing weighs about as much as four paperclips, and it can fly all day if the sun's shining.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: drones, Solar Power, Autonomous flight, Aircraft

FLARES system gives non-VTOL drones a VTOL boost
Posted by ArielTechGeek 575 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
VTOL drones may be versatile, but the weight and aerodynamic drag of their extra hardware results in a shorter range than that of their fixed-wing-only counterparts. That's where the FLARES system comes in, as it lets fixed-wing drones make vertical takeoffs and landings.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: VTOL, Fixed-wing drones, Insitu, Boeing
