Drones in the high mountains

The drone is becoming more and more a natural part of professional alpine climbing, in addition to filming and photography, it is used to locate missing climbers as well as to map current climbing routes, road conditions or to deliver medicines and other (even vital) devices to impossible locations. It’s easy to think about: it gets to places, where appropriate, in, easily and quickly, where no one else is able to, so it’s really being deployed in more and more backups.

Insect-sized drones

A group of researchers has developed a system that approaches the mobility of insects. Drones of the same size were developed with them, with excellent dexterity and resilience. As we can all experience in good weather, insects can be extremely acrobatic and resilient in flight. This feature helps them navigate the air, amidst all its gusts of wind, obstacles, and general uncertainty.

The new combat drone flies at 2414 km / h

Singapore’s Kelley Aerospace has unveiled its combat drone, dubbed Arrow, which will also be well-suited for reconnaissance. Although most people are likely to think of everyday structures as drones, so-called combat aircraft that do not have a pilot on board are also called. Such has also been developed by Singapore-based company Kelley Aerospace, which claims to have built the world’s first combat drone capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound.

In Ghana, drones carry vaccines

Ghana may be the first country to launch a nationwide program to deliver a coronavirus vaccine using drones with the help of a U.S. startup. San Francisco-based Zipline has been using its proprietary drone technology since 2016 for the automated delivery of plasma and other medical devices such as vaccines.

Drones in the fight against the Covid-19 virus

Countries are looking at how UAVs can be deployed in epidemiological control. Africa thinks more clearly: it supplies a vaccine with it. It was a joke last year that while one is preparing for Mars, he cannot wash his hands… We now know that half of this was no joke, and although man has recently sent a “cameraman” and a “chemist” to Mars – well and of course a drone – , a year ago, all mankind, by all means, is primarily about to banish the coronavirus Covid-19 from the pages of history. In this fight, more and more of the decision-makers in the 192 countries affected by the pandemic are looking for which tool is best suited for which task, so they are finding the tasks of drones in more and more places.
