We will demonstrate the concept of machine athleticism and the research to achieve it with the help of these flying machines called quadrocopters, or quads, for short.

The air assets fleet consists of 1 fixed wing and 13 rotary wing aircraft for the period 1 July to 31 December 2005 and of 1 fixed wing and 2 rotary wing aircraft for the period 1 January to 30 June 2006, compared to 1 fixed wing and 28 rotary wing aircraft for the full 12 month period in 2004 05.

Yes, it must be a flying machine. It's got, um, propellers.

In his lab at Penn, Vijay Kumar and his team build flying quadrotors, small, agile robots that swarm, sense each other, and form ad hoc teams for construction, surveying disasters and far more.

The estimates for air transportation included operating costs, liability insurance and fuel for a fleet of 12 fixed wing and 11 rotary wing aircraft for the first period and, under the revised deployment schedule, of 18 fixed wing and 37 rotary wing aircraft for the second.

Wingsuit flying is a suit, that I can make fly, just only with my body.

If you spin these rotors at the same speed, the robot hovers.

Tower, this is Flying Wing, ready for takeoff.

Flying Wing, this is the tower. Clear for takeoff.

And then finally, if you spin opposite pairs of rotors faster than the other pair, then the robot yaws about the vertical axis.

If you increase the speed of each of these rotors, then the robot flies up, it accelerates up.

As a youngster, I was very interested in model airplanes, ornithopters, autogyros, helicopters, gliders, power planes, indoor models, outdoor models, everything, which I just thought was a lot of fun, and wondered why most other people didn't share my same enthusiasm with them.

That planning process was based on historical experience and an analysis of the likely future requirements of the mission, and it was specifically geared to ensure that the right level of support and aviation mix (fixed wing and or rotary aircraft) was provided.

Let's tell the quad to come back here and let the pole drop, and I will next demonstrate the importance of understanding physical models and the workings of the physical world.

And the other way around, if you increase the speed of rotor three and decrease the speed of rotor one, then the robot pitches forward.

From there I went on to wingsuit flying.

Take this quad, for example.

The lower requirements resulted primarily from reduced flying hours of the helicopter as well as the fixed wing aircraft, which contract was terminated in May 2005.

You mean the way she gets inside of you on that loop?

Quads have been around for a long time.

If you were a pilot would you fly through the Triumphal Arch?

The Subcommittee also took note of the Automatic Landing Flight Experiment (ALFLEX) and study of the HOPE X experimental unmanned winged vehicle of Japan.

Without wings

The Secretariat would be submitting a report to the Assembly at its resumed sixtieth session on proposals to create a cadre of peacekeeping professionals who could be deployed, on relatively short notice, to any Department of Peacekeeping Operations field operation and to put in place appropriate conditions of service and contractual arrangements that would enhance the Department's ability to attract, recruit and retain staff for service in the field.

Quads are extremely agile, but this agility comes at a cost.

This is clearly, as I said earlier, a roadable aircraft, and you're not going to spend that much time on the road.

Many of you could ask the question, you know, why is a flying car, or maybe more accurately, a roadable aircraft, possible at this time?

The auto gyro couldn't wait for the invention of the helicopter, but it should have it wasn't a big success.

We then next calculate how the quad should hit the ball so that it flies to where it was thrown from.
