An article from Aero-News.net Mon, 08 Mar ‘10 The Aircraft Is Designed To Investigate Nuclear DisastersStudents at Virginia Tech’s Unmanned Systems Laboratory are perfecting an autonomous helicopter they hope will never be used for its intended purpose. Roughly six feet long and weighing 200 pounds, the re-engineered aircraft is designed to fly into American cities blasted by a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb. The helicopter’s main mission would be to assist military investigators in the unthinkable: Enter an American city after a nuclear attack in order to detect radiation levels, map and photograph damage. “It’s for a worst-case scenario,” said project leader Kevin Kochersberger (above) , a research associate professor with the College of Engineering and director of the Virginia Tech Unmanned Systems Laboratory . His team consists of several graduate and undergraduate students from the mechanical engineering (ME) and electrical and computer engineering departments. → Continue reading Virginia Tech Engineering Team Developing Autonomous-Flight UAV Helo
Watch this video, presented by Treehugger, to see how an international group of designers envisage a sustainable life afloat. The Open Sailing project is configured as sort of an International Space Station for the marine environment. Powered by wind, wave, and solar energy, the innovative architecture offers a nomadic ecosystem for work and play. The design encompasses self-sufficiency in food, water, and energy production and promises a low-carbon, if not watery, footprint.
