This video by Wendover shows how a developing country is using cheap and reliable drone tech to improve its healthcare system. These drones are very similar to what we are designing this year and shows one of the many applications for this technology.

#aiaadbf One last try by the super solo from Glasgow to get M3. Success with 1 lap. All missions complete. Nicely done!

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

@Astro_Sandy Thank you for the awesome coverage @Astro_Sandy !!!

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

Most engineers would say duct tape can fix anything. In our case some epoxy and we'll be back in the air. #aircrashinvestigation https://t.co/c1oPCI5jAh

#aiaadbf The dynamic duo from Glasgow taking another run at launching. Beautiful form but the plane couldn't stay in the air. Bummer.

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

In case you’re wondering what it looks like up close. #UGDBF #AIAA #AIAADBF

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

That wasn't flying, that was falling with style! #softlanding #whoneedsalandinggearanyway #UGDBF #AIAA #AIAADBF

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

Watch it takeoff!! #UGDBF #AIAA #AIAADBF #flyinempty

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

Going through post-flight tech as if the plane never flew! #UGDBF #AIAADBF #AIAA

[Uni of Glasgow DBF @UG_DBF]

First flight a success! #AIAADBF #AIAA #UGDBF
