The next version of the DevilRay remote-controlled aeriform fomite will feature the ability to dock to and reload from index blood . Made byDefense Research Associates , the UAV uses down - curled wingtips to make such a depleted - speed tactics possible . The four - ft all-embracing , propellor - driven flight wing will use “ inverse capped helix winglets ” to take advantage of the wingtip fart vortexes that form during flight of steps , provide stabilization in lieu of a tail .
To reload , the DevilRay uses a combination of GPS and a magnometer to menage in on exponent lines , and after it latches on it pulls electricity with electromagnetic inductive reasoning . I guess if you ’ve already beget surveillance UAVs buzzing around the sky in a foreign country , you ’re probably not overly worried about stealing some power . It remains to be seen if this mapping will even work in practice , but if it does it would effectively provide numberless range . Testing of the magnate rail line piggybacking is scheduled for later this month . [ Ares ]
