An unmanned aerial vehicle with edible wings, with a length of about seven meters, accelerates at ten meters per second.
Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) have developed an unmanned aerial vehicle with edible parts for emergencies. Reported by IEEE Spectrum.
Drones can be very useful in disaster situations, delivering food and water to those in need. But most transport UAVs can only carry about 30 percent of their weight. However, scientists believe that they have found a way out of this situation.
Specifically, scientists made drone wings from rice cakes, which are relatively high in calories. Instead of glue for the wings, gelatin was used. They are also wrapped in plastic so that they do not crumble in a humid environment.
In the future, the inventors plan to add more edible elements, as well as find a way to carry cargo (such as water) in an edible container.
Earlier it was reported that on November 2, within two hours, the Ukrainian military shot down 12 out of 13 kamikaze drones launched by the Russians.
