Drones in a Wind Vortex
Drone pilots are spoiled by the amazing GPS and stabilization hardware and software in modern UAVs. But that does not come without a cost. This video shows the amazing lengths that developers go to in order to understand how wind and currents push drones to their limits! Check out the video here.
Study of Birds Could Lead to Better Drones
Scientists have been using wind tunnels to study the flight of birds for decades. Today, they are using that information gathered to improve the aerodynamics of drones and other UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Using high speed cameras to capture the physical motion of the birds, researchers have discovered many interesting characteristics about the flight of certain birds. The insight from this r...
