If you haven’t got an answer yet, never fear–finding the right career may be easier than you think. If you haven’t yet decided on a career, one [...]
We hear a lot about the high-tech materials of the future such as Bucky paper, Graphene Coatings, and Carbon Nano-tubes. However, when we think of these new high-tech materials we think of things like hypersonic aircraft, lunar colonies, and lightweight laptops.

We all know that there are solid fuel rockets, and that they have indeed provided a good amount of thrust for space craft, satellite rockets, and military missiles and weapons as well. Why not develop a new concept along these lines, one for micro UAVs or larger UAVs which used the fuel in a solid [...]
Unpredictability in flight is a common tactic that many insects use to survive against predators. It seems very inefficient on first glance, but indeed, if an insect gets eaten, then efficiency didn’t matter much anyway. Okay, so consider that scenario, lets fast forward to small micro-UAVs used in the modern battlespace in a swarming strategy [...]
