This paper reports the results of the effect of sea water, natural ageing, and cross‐impact loading on flexural strength and residual flexural strength of epoxy laminates with glass woven fabrics and hybrid reinforcement with glass and carbon woven fabrics. The tests were conducted on samples with different fibre reinforcement both before and after low

Energetic design of a new autogyro aircraft with cyclorotors with possibility of energy harvesting [PDF]
Autogyros are important for their maneuverability and operative flexibility. This paper defines a new autogyro configuration based on cyclorotors placed on the side of the cabin, near the centre of gravity of the aircraft, and a pushing propeller with ...

Reducing Magnetic Noise of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for High‐Quality Magnetic Surveys
The use of light and ultralight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for magnetic data acquisition can be efficient for resolving multiple geological and engineering tasks including geological mapping, ore deposits’ prospecting, and pipelines’ monitoring. The accuracy of the aeromagnetic data acquired using UAV depends mainly on deviation noise of electric ...

Quasi‐ADS‐B Based UAV Conflict Detection and Resolution to Manned Aircraft
A Conflict Detection and Resolution (CD&R) system for manned/unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on Automatic Dependent Surveillance‐Broadcast (ADS‐B) concept is designed and verified in this paper. The 900 MHz XBee‐Pro is selected as data transponder to broadcast flight information among participating aircraft in omnirange.

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Abstract There has been increasing recognition of the adverse effects of outdoor recreation on the behavioural ecology, breeding success and ultimate abandonment of territories in several raptor species, such as the Bonelli's Eagle (Aquila fasciata). We assessed the effects of human activities on the behaviour and breeding success of Bonelli's eagles ...

An operational solution to acquire multispectral images with standard light cameras : Characterization and acquisition guidelines [PDF]
In order to develop a low-cost and easy to implement technical solution to map inside-field spatial variability, and to explore its relationship with crop conditions, several experiments were conducted using ultra-light aircraft and Unmanned Aerial ...

Can Multiscale Thermal Infrared Imaging Help Validate and Monitor Water Stress in Alluvial Forests?
ABSTRACT Alluvial forests are sensitive to drought induced by climate change and exacerbated by altered flow regimes. Our ability to detect and map their sensitivity to drought is crucial to evaluate the effects of climate change and adjust management practices.
