By Tom Koehler<http://active.boeing.com/contactus.cfm?directed_to=feature_215> Boeing engineer George Windsor sat in a small room at a Boeing building in Seattle and picked up an iPhone. After a short series of finger movements and taps, a miniature unmanned aircraft that's about as big as a pizza box started to hover, turn and fly. In some cases, Windsor tapped on locations on a map on the iPhone, and the UAV went to that spot; in other instances, Windsor moved the phone up, down, left and right, and the vehicle moved accordingly. What made this flight demonstration even more fascinating is that the UAV was hovering over a baseball field on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus in Cambridge, Mass. b some 3,000 miles away. http://www.boeing.com/Features/2011/08/corp_drone_08_29_11.html -- BeatTheChip.org 511Campaign.org ____________________ Twitter: BeatTheChip **I am a United States citizen.
