Helicopter anti-torque system using fuselage strakes [PDF]
The improvement of the helicopter torque control system is discussed. At low to medium forward speeds helicopter performance is limited by the effectiveness of the means for counteracting main rotor torque and controlling sideslip airloads.

Drone‐Assisted Organ Transport: A Scoping Review of Clinical, Regulatory, and System Readiness
ABSTRACT Organ transport remains a critical determinant of transplant success, with delays during transfer prolonging cold ischemia time (CIT) and increasing the risk of delayed graft function or organ discard. Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a potential means to enhance the speed, predictability, and resilience of transplant logistics.
