These wings fasten on the bottom of flying cars, maglev-trains or airplanes.
They create additional elevating force and ground effect.
For avoidance of non-uniformity of pressure, the wings have different parameters. Their area grows in process of removal from a bumper.
I.e. the second wing is more than the first, the third wing is more than the second,
FRUITFLY is an open-hardware programmable research micro-drone printed circuit board for developing programmable and intelligent autonomous drone applications. It comes in a ready-to-fly kit and is primarily designed for Arduino/Intel Galileo environment. This low-cost platform is heavily focused on developing programming skills and drone technology expertise.
This product will be a traffic and pedestrian sensor based on vibration patterns that will create a mesh network between them to distinguish the direction of the detected elements in movement.
Those sensors will provide real time data about pedestrian and vehicle traffic flows through the city this way the city resources can be adapted in real time.
My unique concept is to offer to thousands of one-eyed persons with stand-alone glasses offering them the ability to view a form of 3-D scenery. The design combines two images into one, using an electronic shutter to select the right from the left view,
Although RotoBATH are walk-in bathtubs specially designed for seniors and people with mobility difficulties, they can also be used by the whole family regardless of their physical conditions or age. RotoBATH is far easier and safer to enter than a conventional bathtub.

High speed vertical lift aircraft has always been a constant search for the aerospace engineering community. During this search, only two aircraft have partial success reaching this goal so far, a jetfighter and a tilt rotor. The jetfighter can only land vertically but not take off. The tilt rotor cannot reach 300 knots and has other limitations.
