Currently, there is a problem getting small satellites into space. If you do not have millions of dollars and years to spare, but want to do something with the "common heritage of mankind" above our heads, you have to build a small, cheap satellite. But rockets today do not take small satellites to orbit: they take big.
The development of an Ornithopter is inspired by a need of intelligent surveillance robots, capable of subtly infiltrating restrained spaces and maneuvering in them without any human assistance, just by using the controllers. The ornithopter has an appearance of a flying bird and it mimics the bird in its flight.
The entry presents the aerodynamic design, mechanical design and prototyping of a unique unmanned aerial platform. This platform is being developed in response to a perceived requirement for a more flexible surveillance and remote sensing platform than is currently available. Missions for such a platform include coastal surveillance, intelligence gathering by law enforcement agencies and environmental monitoring.
This project presents the development of an assessment module movement patterns used by unmanned surface vehicles – USVs, to provide support for naval operations. Also, it presents a methodology that integrates an Operational Situation (OPSIT) in order to evaluate different patterns and sensors used by these kind of vehicles to achieve an Anti-Submarine (ASW) mission.
This OPSIT,
A Twin shrouded manned aerial vehicle has been fabricated from the combination of springtail and martin jetpacks. This made the system more advanced and controls feasible. The dynamic flight model, which can be run in real time, includes the reactions from ducted-fans, aircraft body aerodynamics, control surfaces,
Problem Statement:
NASA currently is working on their Highway in the Sky software to designate roads in the sky. The software appears to be missing one piece of the puzzle that is critical to it's success. The problem is that in the event of a crash scenario, due to engine failure or other failure,
The double layer chamber was designed to provide an industrial solution to chemical processes when preserving tough technical standards is a must in order to keep the contained fluid (most of them are new biofuels) free of undesired stain and contaminants which sometimes are generated inside the tanks that are used at nowadays industry.
As an innovative example,

Bubbles in a kettle of boiling water, droplets on a sweaty room window
and dew droplets on leaves and flowers, all of them, can act as natural
This project proposes an improved Green Taxiing system focused around the landing gear. Because single-aisle aircraft should represent 70% of the deliveries over the next 20 years, a typical 200-passenger aircraft, similar to the Airbus A320 or the Boeing 737, flying a two-hour mission is chosen as the baseline for the sizing process.
Efficient propulsion for a stratospheric aerial relay aircraft (SARA) is described from the perspective of prior art. Aircraft such as the E-11A, EQ-4B, Grob Stratos 2C, Egrett G520, U2, and WB-57 are stratospheric cruisers with endurance from 7-32 hours.
