Remember the Raptor kit aircraft prototype that ended up in a cornfield?
Well, believe it or not… Peter Muller unveiled a new design and it's called the Raptor NG. While the original bird promised the moon and never succeeded in doing much more than getting off the ground, the Raptor NG goes WAY beyond the original hype and bluster of the elder, recently corn-fed, Raptor. The new bird is... get this... a multi-electric-hybrid ducted fan airframe with a unique 'box-wing' configuration. Mark your calendars! ArkanSTOL Opens Spectator Registration For Ozark Backwoods Challenge. The dates for the event is from september 29th til oct 3rd, inspired by the challenging terrain of the Arkansas Ozarks. The terrain involves actual backwoods flying while adding the elements of time trials and river valley winds. All of these factors combine to make for a challenging competition. T-Mobile and The Drone Racing League launched their first 5G enabled Drone. This was one of the first racing drones in the world to have the 5G embedded and capable of live-streaming video directly to
the internet. Via T-Mobile’s 5G Network, the drone was able to stream high definition, first person view footage live. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
