The brand-new interactions system being made at NASA Glenn will connect air travel information in between ground stations and unmanned aerial autos such as the Ikhana. This aircraft is a customized Predator B located at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California. Image credit: NASA
' View Larger Image The aviation market is built on the condition that a pilot is at the controls of any aircraft in the skies. But what do you do when there's nobody in the cockpit? NASA Glenn Research Center belongs to a big research task meant to deal with the obstacles of running unmanned aerial autos (UAVs) in American air space. You've most likely heard about aerial drones, which have been deployed overseas in military disputes for many years. These unmanned autos have done crucial work in finding targets and keeping our soldiers safe.

0"Unmanned aircraft still need a human in communication with the aircraft and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)," says James Griner, project engineer. "In order to do that, we must have a communication system in place."
0.159871"We are basically creating a whole new industry," explains Griner.
-0.135389"We are basically creating a whole new industry," explains Griner. "Once the technical barriers are figured out, UAVs will be used mainly for long endurance, high altitude missions that are not feasible or practical with piloted aircraft."
Sentiment Stats:
  • Number of Quotes: 4
  • Aggregate Sentiment: 0.024482
  • Mean: 0.0061205
  • Standard Deviation: 1.4142135623731

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
