Peregrine Falcons Inspire New Thermal Soaring Strategy for UAVs
- stcredzero 16y agoReally efficient thermal soaring drones could trade off altitude for electrical power using airstream turbines. This means they could be used as adhoc high power transmission and relay stations. There would be military applications. (Yes, the military already has hardware that can do that stuff, but this would allow a man-portable setup of surprisingly high power.)
