Cirrus vs Cessna Flying a Cessna is great experience. Flying a Cirrus is a spectacular experience. Although both of these are aircrafts that do the same thing, they are very different. Technology has come a long way in aviation and especially in the new 2017 cirrus. Comparing to the 1970’s Cessna’s which is the common aircrafts flown right now, there has been a huge noticeable difference in design and innovation. One of many differences in the Cirrus compared to the Cessna, is the avionics.…

Nowadays airplanes have become a first choice for people because it is very convenient form of communication.

point to point without a pilot on the inside. The key ingredient in a Drone is the autopilot, a technology that first came into se as flying aid in the 1930s.

Only sixty years later in the 1990s, aerospace technology could automate an entire flight, including takeoff and landing. The brain of the autopilot in the Drones- the "embedded compute", or single-chip microprocessor. Thanks to…

reality. With that, of course, comes its own challenges. In May this year a driver was killed in what is believed to be the first fatal crash involving a self-driving car, while in July, a driver was killed at the wheel of his Tesla while using the Autopilot system. Both accidents are being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety…

My vision for the future of Mercedes-Benz extends far beyond the creation of a new class of vehicles powered by batteries simply because in my eyes, that is not innovation. Mercedes SLV, standing for Solar Luxury Vehicle, will be the most innovative class of vehicles the world has ever seen. In this lineup we will feature three different types of current Mercedes-Benz cars: a sedan, sports coupe, and a suv that have been upgraded and slightly restyled to fit the SLV brand name. The sedan we will…

could had been looked on as an abnormality; shunned from the others in the group, and death was a possibility. Although this is a worst case scenario, it was a definite possibility in the paleolithic age. After thousands of years of evolution, this autopilot to conform is still imbedded in our sociology today. It is not as much for survival anymore; today, we use it to not stand out in a crowd or not cause a huge scene; however, not standing out in a crowd in a real emergency can be hazardous.…
