Below Horizon Aircraft Detection Using Deep Learning for Vision-Based Sense and Avoid

open access: yes, 2019
Commercial operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) would benefit from an onboard ability to sense and avoid (SAA) potential mid-air collision threats. In this paper we present a new approach for detection of aircraft below the horizon.

Safety for non-microlight pilots [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Microlight aircraft are some of the safest, cheapest and most fun aircraft flying in the UK. The fatal accident rate, at around 1 per 30,000 flying hours is similar to that of General Aviation overall, and rather better than some parts of it in recent ...

Upcycling of Waste Fluororubber to Photocurable High‐Performance Vinyl‐Terminated Liquid Fluororubber by Multifield Coupling One‐Pot Stepwise Reactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, waste fluororubbers undergo controlled oxidative degradation induced by alkali and hydrogen peroxide to yield carboxyl terminated liquid fluororubbers. Subsequently, condensation reaction system efficiently converts carboxyl groups into photoreactive vinyl groups.

Prompting Interfacial Elastic Instability for Effective and Durable Icephobic Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the inherent trade‐off between icephobicity and the mechanical strength of icephobic materials, a new icephobic material design strategy is proposed by integrating fibrous construction frameworks and icephobic polymer. The structure prompts interfacial elastic instability and the subsequent undulatory interfacial stress at ice/solid ...
