Autonomous drones could herd birds away from airports

Bird strikes on aircraft may be rare, but not so rare that airports shouldn't take precautions against them. But keeping birds away is a difficult proposition: how do you control the behavior of flocks of dozens or hundreds of birds? Perhaps with a drone that autonomously picks the best path to do so, like this one developed by CalTech researchers. https://ift.tt/2OUrRk2 support@endlesssupplies.ca (Endless Supplies .Ca) August 07, 2018 at 04:31PM
