Is it possible that the concept of a manned spyplane is still valid enough to beat out drones and the satellites for the job? The Air Force is set to retire the iconic U-2 surveillance airplane, which first flew in 1955, in 2019, but now the Popular Science website is stating that the Lockheed Martin Skunkworks is considering a follow-on aircraft to the U-2 that would be stealthier and have a longer flight time. Carter Aviation Technologies, LLC is continuing its focus to get a CarterCopter into production. Although flight testing has ramped down, flight demonstrations have not. Jay Carter has indicated they have a need fo

Amazing Efforts To Augment Model Stability Offer Exceptional New Technology 

There used to be a time when learning to fly a radio controlled model airplane was a trial and error process. Unfortunately, the error part of that process often meant the creation of a “smoking hole.” Now, things have changed, and ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, took the opportunity at eFest 2015 to find out about RC aircraft automatic stabilization.
