Helicopter

On March 30, 2013, a Eurocopter AS350 B3 helicopter crashed during a search and rescue mission (SAR) (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). Earlier that day an individual wrecked on a snowmobile near Talkeetna, and called the Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS). The dispatcher who received the call tried to set up a local land rescue. However, no local troopers were on duty, and no locals with SAR experience were willing to take the mission due to the deteriorating weather conditions. Once the…

Although, in some situations the involvement may be extreme, they feel a weight lifted off their shoulders knowing the child is always in good hands.

Facing a hard life and seeing some of its worst aspects makes a parent want better for his/her child, but is hovering the answer? One of the main reasons my best friend’s mom keeps a close eye on her daughter is because growing up,…

percent of the cost.’’’ (frank.) Drones can also help with missing person searches as they are much easier and efficient with the use of drones. ‘’Aerial search for lost persons is extremely costly with traditional fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Small, highly maneuverable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or Drone) may aid and support search efforts in many situations for a fraction of the cost in risk, and resources.’’ (SEARCH WITH AERIAL RC MULTIROTOR (S.W.A.R.M.) ‘’Each of our…

The helicopter lifted off. William stared down at his orchard. September had slipped into October, and the crop was coming into full bloom. The harvest would begin within weeks. A few hints of red and yellow on some of the less hearty trees sprinkled Sleeping Giant. The helicopter flew towards a long, thin, blue strip that snaked through the green, late-summer canopy. The pilot used the Connecticut River as a guide as they flew north towards the first of the stadium rallies. The helicopter flew…

Drones are becoming more popular everyday. They are being used as toys and industrial machines. As you read, you will learn the functions of the different parts of a drone, and the physics that make a drone fly. To start with, a drone needs a powerful, yet lightweight battery. Most drones, both industrial and toy, are powered off of Lithium-Polymer batteries or LiPos. Every piece of electronic equipment in the drone needs power from the battery. This is where the power distribution board comes…

Drones have recently hit the news time and time again within the last decade, and frequently lead to a debate. The majority of those heated conversations often involve the United States of America. Those passionate discussions have ignited a spark in a series of countless debates dealing with drones and the future they possess with the United States of America. Some may not know, but drones are also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAV’s for short. A UAV is exactly what it sounds like.…

called. UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. These devices can vary in shape, size, speed, form, and a whole host of other attributes that contribute to what makes up the drone. A drone can be a model aircraft someone purchases in a store, a mini-helicopter used by some police forces, or a large plane-sized aircraft sent to a war zone. They can hover mid-air, do backflips and spin. These devices are capable of moving precisely and smoothly. All the things they do happen with a stabilized…

Drones are the newest airborne craze to infiltrate the skies. The military is the most noteworthy entity to explore the immense potential of using an unmanned aircraft. History traces the first official unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), back to the V-1 rockets (doodle bugs) of the Second World War. The idea of a flying vehicle that could cruise over enemy territory without risking a pilot has been the primary focus of drone development. However, as these little flying remote controlled…

As our technology continues to advance and develop, many innovations are emerging to create more efficient solutions to our problems, especially in terms of warfare. Weapons and tactics continue to evolve with time and experience, but with these progressions come hesitancy and controversy about their reliability and morality. Drone combat is one form of new fighting methods that have caused a lot of uproar within communities. Drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircrafts used…
