Figured since I like engine photos, ought to as well get close-up with the famous drone's engine. Especially as this engine can power the drone to provide over 24 hours of streaming video for the US Military at 50-60 knots.

Enjoy this picture of the Insitu ScanEagle UAV. This one helped rescue Captain Phillips in 2009 from Somali pirates by providing from the USS Bainbridge real-time aerial footage of the lifeboat Captain Phillips was kept hostage in.
Decided to post this drone picture on 18 February because the day before, the Washington State House passed drone regulation legislation. If my State Senate passes EHB 2789, the drone industry will dramatically expand in a safe, thoughtful way.
One might like the Insitu website on this fine UAV. My other ScanEagle pics are HERE.

OK, surely I'm not the only one who has for years been seeing these flying low and slow over DC.
Today was the first time I was under one and close enough with my kit lens to get a semi-close-up shot.
Need to get me a plane spotter's manual, obviously, because my first thought was that this was either a drone or a surveillance craft ... or both.
Note: best viewed large. I only wish I had a better zoom.

10.2 feet or 3.1 meters if you'd like... thanks to the efficient wing, this drone can stay overhead for over 24 hours.
Also note please pieces (from top to bottom) of Darkstar (stealth UAV prototype), Air Launched Cruise Missile/ALCM and an Insitu Aerosonde Laima (a drone that'll be sampling weather in the future).

Happy to make this portrait. Angels like her flying the MQ-9 Reaper providing persistent overwatch for our troops on the ground ensure our troops come home to us. The MQ-9 Reaper can fly for hours on end, feed back video and if necessary drop precision munitions on a target.
Oh and yes, I have more Arctic Thunder 2018 photos up at flic.kr/s/aHsmnHLymL as I develop. Enjoy responsibly!

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.
I've decided that all these high taxes I've been paying for so many years are going towards paying-off this particular unmanned aerial vehicle (an MQ-1 Predator). I'm sure it will do some very good deeds; I hope to buy it back from them for $12 when the military is done with it. I'll use it to deal with any "problems" that come up.
I ordered the 3DRobotics Solo the day it was announced and available for pre-order. The drone itself is impressive, but I think it was announced and released a bit early. Getting extra batteries has been a challenge, and the gimbal has been delayed quite some time. While shipping hardware is always an accomplishment, it does leave me feeling a bit disappointed that I bought a drone that is fairly limited until the gimbal is actually in wide availability. Without a gimbal, recording smooth video will be a challenge.
