Oklahoma Students Design Drones That Can Fly Into Tornadoes

In this blog, I am going to talk about Students Design Drones That Can Fly Into Tornadoes. The remotely piloted vehicles could one day replace storm chasers, who risk their lives to capture valuable data about tornadoes.

The best way for researchers to get information about a tornado is to send sensors high up into the storm—a maneuver that is too dangerous for a manned aircraft and, up until now, has been too complex for most remote-controlled craft. In my previous blog, I had talk about Drones, its applications and Working

Engineering students at Oklahoma State University designed drones that may someday collect new data about tornadoes, helping public safety agencies more accurately predict and plan for disaster. A giant tornado, at least one mile wide, wiped out neighborhoods as it moved through Oklahoma on Monday, May 20. While the student designs are only in the preliminary planning stage, with no firm schedule to move forward, the university’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is negotiating with its partners to settle on a possible multi-year project that could change tornado science and ultimately save lives.

So, can satellite technology deliver the boost for development that it promises?

In this Spotlight, we consider whether satellites can help governments meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, in this crucial decade for development. Students Design Drones That Can Fly Into Tornadoes.

Satellites are being used for everything from monitoring illegal fishing to tracking malaria, from supporting early warning systems in flood-prone nations to measuring crop yields and giving farmers advice on fertilisers.

The use of space technology to facilitate forestry, agriculture and disaster resilience could eclipse the efficacy of non-space options, according to forecasts.This will let Students Design Drones That Can Fly Into Tornadoes.

The drones needed the capability to take off from a typical road, fit inside a standard flat-bed trailer, lift off and fly in 22 mph winds, withstand gusts of 28 mph, fly for at least four hours at 5,000 feet without needing to refuel, and carry at least one deployable data-gathering device into a weather system. The data-gathering devices, called dropsondes, are cylinders filled with sensors, that are designed to be dropped into storms and begin collecting data. It’s that data that could fill the gaps in knowledge when it comes to tornadoes.
