Flapping Wings with Micro Sensors and Flexible Framework to Modify the Aerodynamic Forces of a Micro Aerial Vehicle ( MAV ) 1 Lung-Jieh The flight of birds or insects has fascinated scholars and physicists for many centuries. Flapping motion, as shown by many nature flyers, is the most effi....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Last week, DARPA announced that it is inviting proposals to tackle its latest project: "a vertical takeoff and landing roadable air vehicle." The ground-to-sky vehicle, called Transformer X (TX), should have a maximum payload capacity of 1,000 pounds so that it can ca...
hypersonic test-vehicle program to develop anunmanned glider(滑翔机)that can fly at Mach 20 after being boosted to near space. The national security objective is to create the capability to reach any point on the globe in less than 60 minutes from the continental United States, with a vehicle...
[12] This vehicle is under development by AirLaunch LLC.[13] This is part of the Force Application and Launch from Continental United States (FALCON) effort. The Transformational Convergence Technology Office (TCTO) mission is to advance new crosscutting capabilities derived from a broad range ...
Talking of giant vehicles, DARPA’s Walrus project set out to create an airship able to haul a payload of 500-1,000 tons (around 1-2 million pounds) up to 12,000 nautical miles in less than a week. Such a vehicle would be immensely useful for quickly deploying large numbers of troops...
Speculation mounted, however, that the X-37 was being used by DARPA and the Air Force as a vehicle for space-based weapons. In 2010, a high-ranking Air Force official involved with the project dismissed the rumors, and stressed that the X-37's main purpose is to test space technology....
This is why DARPA is looking at an inflatable robot that could use air pressure to squeeze an object as a way of picking it up. The result so far, a prototype called the Advanced Inflatable Robot, or AIR when installed on top of iRobot’s Unmanned Ground Vehicle, is a robot arm that...
