Although there are now a few different crop-spraying multicopter drones, fixed-wing drones are faster and have a longer battery range. That’s where the recently US-certified autonomous electric Pelican crop duster comes into the picture.Continue Readin… Continue reading Autonomous electric crop duster gets approval for US demos
When we hear about VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft, we usually think of passenger-carrying “air taxis.” The autonomous Nuuva, however, is being designed to give cargo-carrying helicopters a run for their money.Continue ReadingCategory: Ai… Continue reading Pipistrel announces Nuuva hybrid VTOL cargo drone
Autopilot has been around longer than you think. Indeed, in 1914, just 11 years after the Wright Brothers first ushered humanity into the aviation age, a fellow named Lawrence Sperry built a gyroscopic self-stabilization system into a Curtiss C-2. It w… Continue reading Autonomous Airbus aces autopilot taxi, takeoff and landing tests
So far, much of the development focus of China’s EHang has been on providing air taxi and air tourism services, but now the air mobility company has its eyes on proving the versatility of its autonomous aerial vehicle platform with the launch of a fire… Continue reading EHang flies out rapid responder, firefighting drone
Airbus Helicopters’ VSR700 unmanned aerial system (UAS) prototype has flown autonomously for the first time. At a drone test center near Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, the pilotless rotorcraft performed a 10-minute free flight.Continue Reading… Continue reading First autonomous free flight for Airbus Helicopters’ VSR700 prototype
The first aerial showdown between a human fighter pilot and an autonomous aircraft is slated for July 2021, according to a fascinating interview with the outgoing Director of the US Department of Defense’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC).Co… Continue reading Human fighter pilots set to take on AI drones in aerial dogfights in 2021
Air mobility company EHang has achieved another important milestone in its effort to make its passenger-grade autonomous aerial vehicles a common sight in the skies. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CCAC) has granted permission for the air t… Continue reading EHang air taxi approved for heavy-lift air logistics in China
Air mobility company EHang has joined forces with tourism company LN Holdings to bring air tourism to the latter’s hotels. One of the first projects to emerge from the new collaboration will make the LN Garden Hotel in Nansha the first hotel to offer a… Continue reading EHang to introduce air tourism in northwest China
Back in January, China’s EHang aced the first flight in the US of its two-seat autonomous air taxi. Now the company has agreed to develop the first Urban Air Mobility pilot program in Seville, Spain.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Eh… Continue reading EHang flies into Spain to build air taxi test infrastructure
Drone racing pilots are capable of some impressive control and trickery, but autonomous racing drones are also looking to claim their share of the spotlight. Scientists at TU Delft have now developed what is claimed to be the smallest autonomous racing drone on the planet, a feat that involved some serious innovations in the algorithms that control its flight path.
