3-D Robotics UAV flyover
Look! Up in the sky! It?s an unmanned aerial ve hicle (UAV)! The flight team from 3-D
Robotics demonstrates the thrill of the DIY drone, the product of speaker Jordi Muñoz?s
inventive mind.
Jordi Muñoz: The drones are coming (from Tijuana)!
A native of Ensenada, Mexico, Jordi Muñoz co-founded and built a highly successful company with Chris Anderson of Wired magazine: 3-D Robotics. Muñoz started by rebuilding a toy remote-controlled helicopter using accelerometers from a Wii controller, making it a much more stable machine. He soon built his first drone, costing a few hundred dollars, while the nearest competition was asking about twenty thousand. Today, Muñoz is considered one of the top gurus in the field of drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Ve hicles). His ideas are about to
revolutionize and disrupt this space and create inexpensive UAVs for various civil needs.

This is my Funjet. I installed a Attopilot autopilot, now it's a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). This picture was taken after it's first successful UAV flight. Sept. 7, 2009. Well, it wasn't really much of a mission, it flew in a circle over the spot that it started from, and continued in that pattern indefinitely, staying at a predetermined height, speed, and radius of circle. It didn't really go to waypoints.
But later I sent it on missions of several miles. And I put a small video camera in the wing. if you want to see a video taken from the plane, on one of these missions go look on Youtube, search for "UAV flies to Steves house" . I sent it on a mission to my friend's house.
Now in year 2015, I haven't flown it for a few years, I've been flying a quad copter instead.

The X-15 hanging from the ceiling is an engineering mock-up of the X-15 constructed by North American Aviation (NAA). It formerly resided at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for a number of years.
These funny little things keep cropping up at aviation museums I visit. This little guy is at least number 5 for me. The strange little aircraft is the first rotary-wing drone and the first rotorcraft to carry a nuke. The whole package is powered by a Boeing T50-BO-8A, 270 shp.

Heute wurde die Internationale Luft- und Raumfahrtausstellung in Berlin Schönefeld eröffnet.Diese findet in diesem Jahr auf dem Gelände des zukünftigen BBI "Willy Brandt" statt.Eröffnet wurde sie durch die Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel,welche noch bevor sie die ILA eröffnete, einem der grössten Waffenproduzenten der Welt,Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm huldigte und zuerst Vertreter dieses Unternehmens begrüsste.Es ist mehr als beeindruckend,das diese Luftfahrtschau nichts anderes ist als eine bessere Waffenmesse ist,auf der alles,was das Herz des Waffenhändlers genauso erfreut,wie das des Diktators.Das muss man ja nu aber nicht so offensichtlich zeigen,indem man zuerst die Waffenlobby begrüsst und anschliessend erst die Messe eröffnet.Und warum auf einer Luuftfahrtmesse auch noch gepanzerte Fahrzeuge von Krauss-Maffei Wegmann vorgestellt werden müssen ist selbst mir ,als sehr verständnisvollem Menschen, ein mehr als grosses Rätsel.Ansonsten kann man selbstverständlich bei der Bundeswehr das Fliegen in einem Eurocopter ausprobieren und wie selbstverständlich auch den Beschuss von Piraten aus einem fliegenden Hubschrauber üben.Alles natürlich im Rahmen humanitärer Missionen versteht sich.Da erschreckt einen die massive zunahme unbenannter Waffensysteme und Drohnen schon garnicht mehr.In anbetracht der dort vorgestellten Feuerkraft sind aktuelle UAVs eher Kinderkram. Beruhigend ist da dann schon eher die Vorstellung,das auch das Rote Kreuz stolz prüsentierte,wozu ein nagelneuer Truppentransporter A400M zu gebrauchen ist,nämlihc um natürlich ganz human Zelte und Nahrungsmittel abzuwerfen.Irgendwie wurde man den Eindruck nicht los,das die ganze Veranstaltung nichts anders war,als eine grosse hübsche Luftwaffenschau,auf der man nach Herzenslust alles kaufen kann,was man zum bekämpfen von allem braucht,was nicht ins Schema passt.Für die Flüchtlingsabwehr an den EU-Aussengrenzen das UAV mit Wärmebildsensoren und für den kleinen Aufstand im inneren einen leichten und wendigen Eurocopter 135.Und wenns richtig zur Sache geht,dann kann man auch schon mal nen Euirofighter gebrauchen.Bilder unterliegen dem Copyright.
