On the same track, but the family tree is branching.

On the left in this image is an illustration of the Honeywell Defense and Space Electronic Systems Unmanned Air Vehicle prototype. The Micro Air Vehicle shown at right, is a prototype developed under a U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Advanced Concept Technology Development contract.

The MAV was recently deployed with the U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii for testing.

It has successfully demonstrated ducted fan technology that meets the FCS Class I UAV requirement for a small, back-packable UAV that provides "hover and stare" capability.
Hover and stare! :eek: Wait'll Homeland Security get hold of this.

So it's something for peering in second-storey sorority windows then?

"Wait"? :-) you don't think they have them already? Probably got four of them in this.

Actually, as flying robots go, this one's kinda big and clunky.

Not for the military. Those teeny tiny flying robots haven't made it out of the lab because the controls are too complicated, the operation in real weather too unreliable to make them useful.
But that said.....they're coming, THEY'RE COMING....:borg:

Of course not. But in the hands of a pro you can use something smaller and quieter.

I always hoped that in The Future my pizza would be delivered Hiro Protagonist style, not some funny looking jet. You can get a lot of HE in two coke cans.

"Hi, China Inn, may I help you?"

"I'd like a number 7, and an egg roll."

"OK, what is your location?"

"45 West Pine."

"No, latitude longitude."

"What?"

"Never mind, your phone sent it. Your order will be in the back yard in 90 seconds."
This is here.

Question 1) can it deliver if you move to another location?
Question 2) can it deliver to a running vehicule?

That would add a whole new dimension to the concept of drive-in... and quite a few holes in a lot of windshields, no doubt.

That's a good question. In this country most tacos are eaten in moving vehicles.

You'll put your eye out.

That's probably where they got the idea.

And the funding.
