Micro Plane That Perches On Power Lines

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the look-up-in-the-air dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to tell us about a microplane that perches on power lines to recharge its batteries being developed as a surveillance device at MIT. As you can imagine, landing on a power line is hard to do ... and charging off transmission lines has its own problems.

    Landing on a power line is fucking easy to do.
    Go look at some power lines.
    Do you see any things that have landed on it?

    I bet you fucking do.
