Parcelcopter 4.0 – Delivering vital medicines by drone A joint project between DHL, GIZ on behalf of BMZ and Wingcopter makes it possible. Called “Deliver Future”, supplying medicines to isolated areas in eastern Africa via drones was tested over a period of six months. We met with success: the autonomously flying DHL Parcelcopter 4.0 took only forty minutes to fly 60km from the mainland to a remote island in Lake Victoria.
How to Land the Space Shuttle… from Space Presented on Halloween (October 31st) at Stack Overflow’s 2016 Remote Meetup in Philadelphia. This was one of nine "Tiny Talks" given over three days at the meetup. Every year, employees submit Tiny Talk ideas on a wide range of topics (some completely random and not company-related at all, like this one) and we vote on which ones we want to hear. So, thank you to my coworkers for voting me in. Original proposal description I submitted for this talk: Let's say you're traveling at about 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 km/h) in low earth orbit, your main engines are out of fuel, and it's your job to guide the spaceship through a fiery re-entry without burning up or skipping out of the atmosphere, navigate to your landing site, and arrive with just enough energy to make an unpowered landing on a runway which is halfway around the planet from where you started. And, of course, either you succeed on your first try, or everyone dies. So, no pressure…. In this talk, I'll show you how space shuttle designers, pilots, and autopilots managed to do just that.
How to Mount a Trailer in Russia Occurred on April 19, 2017 / Far East, Russia Info from Licensor: "After a long season of conducting exploration drilling at our remote exploration camp in the Russian Far East, the drilling contractor was loading up their diamond drilling rig onto the trailer to haul it out to the next drill site. Apparently they had done it many times before without a problem. This time it didn't work out so well, as often happens in the remote Russian work camps. No-one was hurt and the drill repaired in three days. Unfortunately the vodka bottles were a write-off."

R/C plane crashes real plane A half-scale remote-control airplane collided with a real aircraft over a Colorado airport last weekend. While there were no injuries, the incident exposed the growing tension between pilots and model aircraft enthusiasts and their ever-larger RC aircraft. The collision between the real and $8,000, 46% giant-scale remote-control aircraft occurred on August 14th at a small airport in Brighton, C More.. olo., outside Denver. As you can see in the video below, the RC plane is hovering above the runway ten to 30 feet from the ground in a vertical position, with spectators nearby. Suddenly, a single-engine biplane goes for a low pass over the runway and splits the RC craft in half. The full-scale aircraft suffered "significant" damage, but was able to land.
