I've been thinking about the possibility of applying some computing power to recognizing or predicting thermals to use for greatly extending flight range. I'm sure this problem could be solved with today's technology, and it might provide some very large scale benefits.
- geocrasher 6y agoThere are already self thermalling RC gliders. But thermals are slow things, and everything these days has to be fast, right? Thermals would only allow for greater loitering. IF the thermal stays where you want to loiter. They move a lot.
