The Future Challenges and Opportunities of Unpiloted Aviation
Figure 1 : Intel Shooting Star Mini Drone (Bohn, 2018) Summary: In “The Future Challenges and Opportunities of Unpiloted Aviation” , Ahamad Tawsif Chowdhury explores the numerous applications of drones to solve problems in both industrial and domestic settings as well as how this relatively new technology is being developed. In early stages of drone engineering, there have been different types of designs such as fixed-wing drones and rotorcraft drones. These drones are being used in many different fields such as the military, healthcare and entertainment just to name a few. Researchers and engineers are also finding novel ways to enhance drone technology, diversifying their designs and how they are used. This includes innovations such as the constructions of communication networks with drones as well as stepping into biomechanics by taking inspiration from nature for design. However, there are some disadvantages to drones su...
