Zach's mother, Sarah Judkins, said she noticed heaps of sharks while out paddleboarding on December 31, and asked her son to send his drone out to see how many there were.  "And it was heaps!!! They were in the shallow water close to the shore," she said. Zach said there were at least 30...

Drones – In the Beginning  -  Part 2

Drones – In the Beginning  -  Part 2

Earlier helicopters used tail rotors to counterbalance the torque generated by a single, main rotor but this was inefficient, complex and wasteful.

These quadcopters were among the first VTOLs (Vertical take-off and landing) aircraft.  Aircraft evolved rapidly during The First World War, with unmanned concepts soon following, culminating with the Kettering Bug, a biplane which flew on a pre-set course using an on-board gyroscope and altimeter. A similar idea, underpinned perhaps the most infamous of Second World War drones, the V-1 Flying Bomb or Doodlebug, which devastated London...
