Quadcopters are flying machines. Traditionally, that would mean you’d optimize the design for lightweight and minimum drag, and you’d do everything in a neat and tidy fashion. The thing is, brushless ...

A group of engineers at the University of Manchester have achieved a remarkable feat by constructing and successfully flying the world's largest quadcopter drone. This colossal drone, measuring an ...

The ground-effect (GE) refers to the almost mystical property where the interaction of the airflow around an aircraft’s wing and the ground massively increases efficiency due to the reduction of ...

PDW’s C100 quadcopter, which has also been acquired by the U.S. Army, was used to safely lase targets from a standoff range, demonstrating a new joint fires capability. Performance Drone Works (PDW), ...

In recent years, we've seen a few folding-wing drones that can be quickly and easily launched from a tube. The WASP M4-TL tactical UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) takes that same concept and applies it ...

Battery life wouldn't be an issue for drones if they could just recharge on power lines as needed. That's exactly what an experimental new quadcopter can now do, allowing it to stay aloft pretty much ...

Recent demonstrations show how relatively simple quadcopter drones can be integrated with sophisticated conventional weapon systems like the F-35 fighter to form what military planners call a kill ...

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Aerotor Unmanned Systems have joined forces to develop a novel unmanned quadcopter designed for long-range endurance missions. The new platform, named APUS 25, ...

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Performance Drone Works (PDW) is excited to announce the release of PDW CORE, a software bundle designed for the C100 multi-mission quadcopter, adding a powerful ...

A brain-computer interface, surgically placed in a research participant with tetraplegia, paralysis in all four limbs, provided an unprecedented level of control over a virtual quadcopter -- just by ...
