Really cool #drone #design that can #survive 2/3 #motors #dying and still #fly with near full #control https://hackaday.com/2022/11/09/clever-c.. Very cool!
Apparently pieces of #uav #drone are falling out of the #sky over #croatia https://www.total-croatia-news.com/news/.. So far nobody is sure of what exactly it is, or whom it is from.
Interesting to hear #aardvark being approached by #chinese #drone maker for a " #review ", but he is not allowed to actually #criticize the #product https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0202.s.. Makes you wonder how many people sold their #morality in favour of getting that #review #money ...
#drone #uav #quadcopters being actively used in a #sar #operation to save #dogs from a #volcano https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/dro.. Best of luck to them!
Interesting #robotics #idea from #caltech by using a #drone and #bipedal #hybrid to #bypass having to address the current #issues posed by #humanoids https://hackaday.com/2021/10/07/leonardo..
Seems like some #helicpoter #pilots in the #us have been scared by a #drone #uav and have failed to notice how good they have gotten: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42.. #quadcopters can now reportedly break the 200 mph barrier quite easily!

It's worse than I previously thought, the #police actually flew a #helicopter at *exactly* the same time and were likely the cause of the 'sighting'. Their claims were also dubious, as they suggested a drone flew for an hour *through heavy rain* - something that is quite difficult for motor rotor craft. And on top of that, their 'advanced' drone detection system detected *nothing* ...So it seems like the #uk 's #gatwick #airport lied about the #drone stopping #planes from flying: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/20/the-gatw.. They literally had a #uav #radar / #scanner operating and found *nothing* - but the #caa still decided to close the #airport ! Bare in mind their were #law changes as a result of this bullshit! They can fuck right off.
