Interesting bird style landing "the perching drone"

Posted by Stanley Anak Suab on January 12, 2017 at 8:15pm

I read this on the newspaper today and i think this is one interesting genius way to land a UAV (the bird style). 

Researchers combined a morphing wing drone and machine learning algorithms to create a system that lets the machine perform perched landings on the ground. The fixed wing aircraft also has the ability to land in small or confine places, which deliver aid in disasters

These researchers from the University of Bristol and BMT Defence Services did a great job :-D well done!
