MSU Researchers Studying Flying Insects to Improve Downsized Drones #drone #droneday
From Montana State University:
Spinning rotor blades like those of a helicopter can be downsized only so much before air friction overtakes lift force, causing the tiny motors to overheat and fail. That’s why engineers, in an effort to develop tiny drones that could one day monitor natural gas pipelines for leaks or even dart among blossoms to help pollinate crops, are increasingly interested in the flapping wing flight of hovering insects.
Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines.
