Ideas for future UAV tech in Reality and Videogame/flight simulators

Since the Predator has inverted "V" shaped stabilizers these stabilizers should contain wheel parts and wheels underneath to lessen weight and save costs in manufacturing, we need to bring down the costs of these units. Less mechanism will save weight and we can use that savings in weight for increased payload or more fuel to extend loitering time. I propose the rear Landing gear incorporated into this V-Tail assembly. Let's move Murphy out of these aircraft and keep it simple, cheap to build and efficient.

This is being proposed to reduce costs of future UAV squadrons in manufacturing and to save weight and fuel efficiency for longer missions and greater range to provide eyes in the sky and security to the battlespace and our nations and allied borders. Redesigning UAV choices in your battlespace UAV simulations and computer games will be necessary to keeping pace with the real world war planners as the technology hyperspaces the world of virtual reality.

Many of the current UAV models are being looked at for improvement in efficiency for added range, additional payload and stealth. Are you designs viable, are they better than actaul? Are you learning from aerospace engineers or are you still teaching them lessons in what works?

Jobs in the UAV Industry and Facts about UAVS

UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which is essentially an aircraft, which flies around without at pilot. There are large UAVs such as the Predator UAV, which is used for intelligence and surveillance. There are number of UAVs which are used in forescasting, fire fighting, weather atmospheric research, Planetary exploration and of course military applications.

The growth of the UAV field is growing fast and that means jobs, consultants, researcher and development and start up companies. Producing UAVs with names like Shadow, fire scout, raven, warrior, hunter, pointer, dragon eye, pioneer, global hawk and golden eagle. A lot goes into the operational needs of UAV aircraft, VTOL, Helicopters and micro-air vehicles or ultra small UAVs the size of model aircraft. Then there are the mini-micro UAVs which are called MAVs. To build and run such as UAV system must understand the mission and the advantage of using a UAV for a particular need. The UAV road map for the United States Air Force, United States Navy, Army and Marines call for greater capability, enhanced design and better fire power. This means larger and more efficient power plants, better UAV training as well as greater numbers of these aircraft.

If you peruse the United States Naval Aviation sites you will find a full history of the UAV, video clips and future designs. The future of the Naval UAV can be seen in these Navy UAV video clips. You can be sure as the military becomes more mechanized and robotic that UAVs will be at the forefront of this paradigm shift. Think about it.
