Amazingly cool and interesting plane footage

[RizzoTheRat]

This cropped up on my youtube feed, a bit long but really interesting, not just the new drone they're testing, but starting at about 2 minutes the drone system this company have been using in Rwanda for the last 6 years to deliver blood and medical supplies by air to remote hospitals is bloody impressive. They can launch and recover drones every 90 seconds, and deliver out to 50 miles. Thier low noise propeller design is interesting too.



Apparently also in use on Ghana and working on setting up in several other countries too.

I know on C-130's they get jettisoned. It would be logical that these ones get jettisoned as well.

Rocket assisted take off works well on the C-130, rocket assisted landing less so.

Agreed. Things like this should be publicised more widely.

Well preserved Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber found in the Adriatic Sea. Being an ex-Italian Stuka makes it currently unique.

So that’s why they called it a DIVE bomber.

I hope they bailed out. Maybe a bit more bailing next time?
