The X-47B prototype fighter UAV has already shown that it can stick a landing on the rolling deck of an aircraft carrier but can it launch from one as well? Turns out, the answer is a historic yes.

Normally drones aren't credited with saving lives. But the Saskatoon Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reports that their personal drone helped them hunt down an injured car crash victim for rescuing, ultimately saving the poor guy's life.

Fan-freakin'-tastic. It wasn't enough that drones are already watching our every move and capable of raining down missile-locked death strikes. No, we had to give them the ability to swoop and snag items like a goddamn Golden Eagle taking a baby. Everybody duck.

Dubbed the P.1HH HammerHead, this UAV is the result of a collaboration between Piaggio Aero and Selex ES based on the P-180 Avanti II, a twin-engine turboprop.

Very little water vapor ever rises above the troposphere (where the majority of Earth's weather occurs) but the little bit of vapor that makes it to the stratosphere is kind of a big deal. One recent study suggests that just a one to two percent increase in mid-stratospheric humidity can retain up to twice as much…

When it comes to handy features for UAVs, your mind probably doesn't jump to towering, phallic protuberances and grabby arms for gingerly setting things down before darting away. Well DARPA's does, which is why they funded and demonstrated this monstrosity.
