Field testing is a crucial part of drone development: Fenswood Farm, provides ample airspace for putting our drones through their paces. Check out this video here of a glider test: #FieldTesting #DroneFlights #ResearchFacilities youtu.be/AYuwqPuxZHo?si=9FwR…
The future of urban air mobility is taking shape at the Lab! Our team, led by Prof. Arthur Richards, is developing routing systems for safe drone vertiports #UrbanAirMobility #FutureOfTransportation #DroneTrafficManagement See our full article here: bit.ly/vertiport
We're part of the EU-funded WildDrone project, an international training network for wildlife conservation. Our doctoral students are using autonomous drones to monitor wildlife #WildlifeConservation #DronesThatMakeADifference #InternationalCollab youtu.be/wtazZefKCYI
At the Flight Lab, we have access to world-class facilities, including the university's advanced wind tunnels at our disposal, we can conduct thorough aerodynamic testing of novel aircraft designs. #DroneEngineering #AerodynamicsTesting #CuttingEdgeFacilities
At the Lab, we've collaborated with volcanologists to develop drones that can sample ash in Papua New Guinea. This is helping scientists better predict eruptions and save lives. #DroneScience #VolcanoResearch #InnovationForGood youtu.be/Q1iRnvUUhAo
STOP PRESS: Our study of kestrels as key to unlocking safer drone flight is out: bit.ly/kestrelvideo
See the @guardian article: bit.ly/kestreldrone The full paper, in Journal of Experimental Biology: bit.ly/kestrelpaper #bioInspire #flight #drone @RMIT @BristolUni
Meet Kevy the kestrel 🪶 who has been working with researchers at RMIT and @BristolUni to help unlock the secrets to safer flight.

@unipa_it contributes to great work made by @involcan in monitoring the #LaPalmaVolcano #eruption by performing #volcanic gas plume observations. With @joaopnlages and @marcellobitetto . We also fly #multigas in the plume with @EmmaLiu31 @ES_UCL and @DrKieranWood @UOBFlightLab
Providing assistance with the response to the Cumbre Vieja eruption on La Palma.

We worked with @Bristol_SU to put your #COVID19 questions to @adamhfinn, an expert in immunology and vaccine development 🦠
In the first of the series, we discuss why previously having the virus doesn't necessarily make you immune or prevent you transmitting it 😷
Looking forward to the results of @TheEngineerUK Collaborate to Innovate awards. Members of the flight lab and external colleagues have been shortlisted for their work using #drones to measure volcanic phenomenon 🌋
It's day 2⃣ of Collaborate to Innovate Week and today is sponsored by @HVM_Catapult.
Visit theengineer.co.uk for the latest daily content on #engineering #collaboration and at midday as we unveil 3 of our category winners! 🏆
Duc Nguyen has presented a method for assessing the flying qualities of aircraft at unusually high angles of attack. The results can help identify flying scenarios when the aircraft might handle poorly. #aiaaSciTech doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-0759
