Surrre they did, because obviously researchers cannot
find work, and no one really wanted to accomplish these
world records. LOL!


Nope, as a matter of fact, you can't find work in research unless it is in
a politically correct area, or has a politically correct tie in these days.


Does the word, "medicine" mean anything to you?
Does the word, "military" mean anything to you?
Does the acronym "NASA" mean anything to you?


Both NASA and military research spending are way down and have been that
way for a decade or so.

Why do you think they hyped all the crap about hydrogen?


HELLO! Hydrogen will play a huge part of our future.
Or did my post on this application to turbine fans escape you?


Nonsense.

Hydrogen has far too many practical problems to ever be useful as a general
purpose fuel like diesel even if you could get the cost down to something
realistic.

They serve no other purpose.


It's called science. It works like building blocks. You
work your way up but not with little wooden squares,
but knowledge through discovery.


There was little to no science involved, just some engineering.


Bull****


If there was science involved, then some new basic principal must have been
discovered. What was it?

Or is it that you don't believe in engineering?

Bolt A to B, fly it, more study, i.e. money, needed.


So cynical.


So true.

As a UAV they are a dud.


I can't comment until further study. Form follows
function. This should tell you something.


Try looking at real, working UAV's.


Know all about them. Apples and oranges here.
No one intends to put hellfire missles on them.


The vast majority of UAV aren't armed, so I guess you don't really "Know
all about them."

a. electric: evolving technology


A very mature technology.
