Miniwing’s Latest Plastic
Many people, myself included, suppose that the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is a pretty new phenomenon. In fact the concept stretches back to World War I, where attempts were made to fly lightweight, unmanned aircraft to attack enemy strong points. World War II developed these ideas with a number of radio controlled or preprogrammed aircraft being used by both sides in the conflict, most famously the Luftwaffe's Mistel series, but it wasn't until the USA's involvement in Vietnam that the use of robotic aerial devices really took off (literally!) with heavy deployment of reconnaissance drones like the AQM-34L Firebee based Lightning Bug over hostile territory and some use of unmanned assault aircraft. Like most fields of electronic and computer related development, UAV evolution has been unbelievably rapid in the last couple of decades with current capabilities in navigation, autonomous decision making and reliability being utterly staggering.
