NASA Launches XR-Nano Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
NASA has released one of its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to fly without a human pilot. Called the XR-Nano, the craft is the first UAV to be powered by a battery powered electric drive system, and is the sixth of what will eventually be over two dozen such vehicles NASA has developed.
The XR-Nano is a six-rotor, remotely-controlled aircraft designed for vertical takeoff and landing operations, and can travel at a top speed of 90-plus mph, according to the agency. This is equivalent to more than 10 times the speed of a U. Navy P-3 Orion aircraft. It can carry 10 pounds of cargo or 10,000 pounds of fuel in its onboard fuel tanks.
The XR-Nano is the first of two such UAVs planned for launch to the International Space Station, with a follow-on launch scheduled in late 2012. The XR-Nano would be the first unmanned space vehicle that doesn’t have to be flown by a human crew.
The XR-Nano was developed in a laboratory under the direction of the U. Air Force Research Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base, the agency said in a released document. The XR-Nano first flew in early October of last year, and is scheduled to be in “operational use” on December 23, according to the documents. Air Force expects its new XR-Nano to make it into orbit three more times before the end of the year.
NASA engineers successfully tested a prototype of an electric vehicle for the first time Thursday, a record for the agency and a sign that it is moving closer to realizing the goal of building the first fully electric manned spacecraft by 2020.
The experimental electric propulsion system, developed by a team of engineers at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. , is designed to operate the flight control system of a single-person, electric, self-contained vehicle, according to a NASA document first reported by the Washington Post.
Applications for hybrid fixed VTOL – drones.
Today the major part if the development of new vehicles to a large degree are drones that are meant to carry components to the vehicle and carry out repair work of vehicles. The drones are usually mounted on unmanned vehicles (carriers), but they can also be mounted on existing fixed vehicles as soon as all components are provided by their manufacturers. For this to be done, a lot of work needs to be done at the first place; such as the development of the electronics or antennas for these components that are to be carried by the drone and also it is necessary to make the drones very small and so small that their weight becomes so small that a very high degree of protection is required in each case. Now in many countries, for example in the EU and in US, the use of such drones are prohibited, because it is not possible to deploy vehicles of a very high weight that could cause accidents. It is, however, possible to make them so high that they are too heavy to be carried by a carrier of the same type as the one they are being used for. In this case, it is possible to use a smaller unmanned carrier that is much easier to transport and, furthermore, it is possible to make the drones use lighter components that will be carried by these drones. This is a particular advantage, because in some occasions, when they have to carry very heavy vehicles or the components are very large, it will be possible to carry them in the form of a lighter unmanned carrier. That is to say, instead of carrying a large number of components as well, when a component weighing a few kilograms has to be carried, a lighter unmanned carrier can be used.
Drones are vehicles that can carry several components in total. The components can be small or large and a large number they are in the form of components of different sizes. Drones can be small and unmanned carriers. As components they are made from various materials and as the components are put into a small space of a carrier they are separated by several walls to protect them from the environment. Drones are often used as weapons and, besides the use as a weapon, they can also be used in the defense of buildings, airplanes, ships or boats. Drones are mainly used as light weapons because they have no armor and they can be used without too many problems.
Surveying and Mapping with VTOL
VTOL is a technology that allows the system of a vehicle to have a larger storage volume and be able to easily be integrated into the vehicle for its operation. The VTOL system allows the vehicle to be smaller, lighter and improve its fuel efficiency. In addition, it is possible to increase the reliability of the vehicle engine and to increase the safety of the vehicles. It is a research direction for the future vehicles to be used in the public car market. To improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicles, VTOL will be widely used in the future cars. In the future cars VTOL can be used to reduce the weight of the cars, increase the service life of the vehicles, create new cars, and provide new functions. Therefore, VTOL will be a new technology applied on the public car market in the near future. VTOL will be the research direction of car manufacturers to develop the future cars by improving the fuel efficiency of the cars. This article will show the benefits of VTOL, how VTOL can be included in the future cars while maintaining the fuel efficiency of the new cars, and the future car manufacturers to include VTOL. The future car manufacturers should design the future cars to include VTOL.

Surveillance & Security with VTOL Fixed wing drones
Read the whole article in the VTOL Fixed Wing Drones section.
This article has been written by a user who has had little experience with VTOL fixed wing drones or Cessna Aircraft Inc. of the 1950’s, 1960’s and later.
The article is primarily a continuation of a previous article regarding the Cessna and T-33 flying wings and was not written by an experienced helicopter or jet pilot.
The article has been copied to the Cessna page in Cessna’s forum as this is often an area of expertise for the company.
The main references will be found using your favorite search engine to be sure they are all available. However if they are not, please include the author’s name and post link where they are available.
Since this will not be included in the primary article I have added a link to the VTOL fixed wing drones section of the Cessna Aircraft Inc. website if you want to access the original.
The VTOL fixed wing flying wings were first patented in 1873 by Dr. Hall for an airplane model aircraft with vertical and horizontal stabilizers.
The model was a small aircraft with a long fuselage with a fixed, single-seater cockpit; a large engine for a small size, low drag wing.
Hall’s aircraft had a low profile, an engine smaller than in today’s jet aircraft, and a light single seat pilot, but had the power of a modern jet, all in one relatively short aircraft. A long tail section was necessary because the wings and fuselage were shorter and more complex than today’s multi-engine aircraft. Since then the flying wings have been in the works for about 150 years.
In 1882 the first fixed wing aircraft with a long fuselage was Bell Aircraft, which was the first U. flying wing company to introduce their product. Another Bell wing was the first ever with a tail boom, and the first commercial powered flying wing which did not need a tail boom to float.
By 1900, Bell Aircraft was selling the first single pilot airplane with fixed wings.
In 1900 Edward J.
Tips of the Day in Computer Hardware
The SD Card is now part of your daily computing life. With its ability to hold large amounts of data, it provides the speed and storage that your computer needs. The problem? The SD Card has a limited amount of space, and if you run out, you have to buy a new one.
Unfortunately, this means that SD cards that you buy are not portable. If you have a laptop or desktop, you will have to buy a new one. If you have a tablet, it will cost you a lot of money and is not portable with you around. If you want to use the card as a storage drive for a laptop or desktop, you will have to buy a new laptop or desktop.
With all of these issues behind you, how do you know that you can make your SD cards larger? There has to be a reliable way to get a larger SD card. And this will give you more space for your data.
