building an aircraft carrier is just like playing with Lego bricks! At a much, much larger scale, of course. Here is footage showing how the final section of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier the HMS Prince of Wales was slapped on top of the ship. The piece, known as Aft Island, weighs 750 tonnes and will control aircraft operations on the carrier.
Robot aircraft are to be tested in UK airspace to help refine systems that control autonomous planes.
Defense Tech - BAE Sytems is developing a solar cell that could power a unmanned aerial vehicle just by charging its skin.
There’s no need for a traditional battery. The system that’s still in development charges a hard composite material that could act as the structure of an aircraft, a vehicle or even a piece of soldier’s gear.
