Download or read book Futuristic Electric Drones written by Kerrily Sapet and published by Mitchell Lane. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been experimenting with drones for more than 150 years. During the U.S. Civil War, they tested hot air balloons loaded with explosives on timing devices. These early drones were dangerously unreliable and uncontrollable. Spies in hot air balloons proved the importance of aerial surveillance but also the risk. Technology soon caught up and made flying and spying using unmanned aircraft possible. Today, drones do more than ever before. Electric drones help save lives, deliver packages, perform shows, explore the Earth, and transport passengers. All different types of drones are making people’s lives easier and better in many ways.
Download or read book Electric Airplanes and Drones written by Kevin Desmond and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempts at electric powered flight date to well before the 19th century. Battery weight and low energy output made it impractical until the 1990s, when the advent of lightweight materials, more efficient solar power, improved engines and the Li-Po (lithium polymer) battery opened the skies to a wide variety of electric aircraft. The author describes the diverse designs of modern electric flying machines--from tiny insect-styled drones to stratospheric airships--and explores developing trends, including flying cars and passenger airliners.
Download or read book Futuristic Electric Airplanes written by Kerrily Sapet and published by Mitchell Lane. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airplanes have come a long way since the first flight in 1903. They fly farther and faster than ever before. They also dump tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every day, burning up fossil fuels and polluting the planet. Airlines and other companies are teaming up to find a solution. Innovative new designs for electric airplanes could change the way people travel within the next few years. Someday you might hop on an airplane for a short trip instead of driving. Or, you might hover over city streets in an air taxi. The future of flight is exciting and looks electric.

Download or read book Drones Various Applications written by Dragan Cvetković and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-02-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many believe that unmanned aerial vehicles or drones are a recent invention, unmanned flight has a rich history that goes all the way back to ancient times. The first systems that can be specified under the modern definition of unmanned aerial vehicles or drones include reconnaissance drones developed and deployed during the Cold War period. Today, such systems have evolved and can have different designs. In the last twenty years, many drones with different aerodynamic characteristics, flight endurance, methods and places of launch and acceptance, and even more diverse purposes have been developed. The achievements of modern science, technique, and technology, especially in the field of microelectronics and control systems, have made it possible to design and manufacture drones that are capable of performing controllable flight in a wide range of altitudes, speeds, and distances while performing complex and diverse tasks with almost the same efficiency as well as manned aircraft. This book provides a comprehensive overview of drone technology and applications with chapters on the detection and classification of drones, issues related to electric unmanned aerial vehicles, integrating drones into educational curricula, and the uses of different types of drones in various situations, among other topics.

Download or read book Ten Ways Drone Technology is Shaping Our Future written by David Williams and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, , language: English, abstract: The Department of Transportation recently announced that it intends to impose a registration system for drones (LINK 1). Drones (scientific name unmanned aerial vehicles) are aircraft that do not need a human pilot on board. Their flight is monitored remotely from the ground or via computers embedded on the vehicle. Previously restricted to military operations, these vehicles are increasingly finding applications in the civilian world—firefighting, policing, commerce, research and monitoring etc. According to the secretary, registration will stress the need for drone operators and hobbyists to observe safe flight practices and apply airspace rules (LINK 2). This announcement is a clear indication of just how profound drones are influencing and will continue to impact our lives. In this article, I present ten ways through which drones are shaping our future.

Download or read book Swarm Troopers written by David Hambling and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small unmanned aircraft are already transforming warfare, with hand-launched scouts like the Raven and lethal tactical drones like Switchblade already in use by US forces. A bigger revolution is on the way, as swarming software allows a single operator to control large numbers of drones, and smartphone technology means they can be built for $1,000 each -- by anybody, not just governments. This book looks at the history of drone warfare, the rise of big drones like the Predator and how they are being eclipsed by smaller unmanned aircraft. And how the future is being shaped by smartphone technology, swarm software, miniaturised munitions and energy-harvesting that allows small drones to fly forever. It also looks at why current air defence cannot stop the swarms, and what drone swarms will mean for the balance of power and future wars. This is the world of Swarm Troopers
