High altitude broadband is the platform for the future
A three-year project led by the University of York, which aims to revolutionise broadband communications, reaches its climax later this year. view more (2006-07-18)
Climate researchers meet to simulate flight operations for storm cloud experiment
Summertime in northern Australia means monsoon storms - and plenty of them. Tall, turbulent clouds associated with these storm systems form rapidly, release their energy in the form of rain, then tail away, leaving in their wake a surplus of moisture to feed the next system. view more (2005-09-14)
MIT's intelligent aircraft fly, cooperate autonomously
The U.S. military depends on small, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform such tasks as serving as "eyes in the sky" for battalion commanders planning maneuvers. view more (2006-09-27)
Small, unmanned aircraft search for survivors
Providing the benefits of speed, portability and access, a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) surveyed storm-damaged communities in Miss. as part of the search for trapped survivors of Hurricane Katrina. view more (2005-09-15)
Cincinnati Surgeon Leads First Test of Mobile Robotic Surgery
A team of military, telecommunications and surgical experts led by University of Cincinnati (UC) faculty are using an unmanned aircraft and sophisticated communication tools to take the next step toward making "telesurgery" a reality. view more (2006-06-06)
Small, self-controlled planes combine plant pathology and engineering
A Virginia Tech plant pathologist has developed autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to detect airborne pathogens above agricultural fields. view more (2007-06-14)
Guarding giants with tiny protectors
How do you build an infrared (IR) camera that is small enough to fit on a mini-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) without cryogenic cooling? Call in the nanobots. view more (2005-10-24)
A bizarre hovering spy plane takes to the skies
WHAT looks like a flying saucer, takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane? The next remote-controlled surveillance aircraft on the hunt for terrorist fugitives like Osama bin Laden, apparently. Pilotless aircraft came into their own in the Afghan conflict, greatly reducing casualties in US Air Force and ground troops on both... view more... (2002-01-30)
Scientists to Assess Beijing Olympics Air Pollution Control Efforts
As the Summer Olympics in Beijing kicks off this week, the event is giving scientists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe how the atmosphere responds when a heavily populated region substantially curbs everyday industrial emissions. view more (2008-08-11)
Linköping University and Saab establish aerospace research center
On Monday 3 May the defence and aerospace company Saab and Linköping University signed a Letter of Intent to establish a Center of excellence in Linköping, Sweden. The aim of the joint venture, LinkLab, is to consolidate and expand common research and technical development in the field of aircraft systems, with focus on advanced systems... view more...

Unmanned aerial vehicles mark robotic first for British Antarctic Survey
Scientists at British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in collaboration with the Technical University of Braunschweig (TUBS), Germany have completed the first ever series of flights by autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Antarctica. view more (2008-03-19)
Surveillance vehicles take flight using alternative energy
Nearly undetectable from the ground, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used by the military to scan terrain for possible threats and intelligence. Now, fuel cell powered UAVs are taking flight as an Office of Naval Research (ONR)-sponsored program to help tactical decision-makers gather critical information more efficiently- and more... view more...
