As a treat for our readers and site visitors, we have compiled images and illustrations of 28 unmanned aerial vehicles and UAV design concepts that represent the latest in beautiful high-tech robotic aviation. Why do we say “beautiful”? It is because of the sleek aerodynamic planforms that capture the eye–flying wings. These images, and many more, are freely available on the internet if you search the web pages of aerospace and aeronautics groups, companies, and .orgs. We hope you enjoy this modest collection, and look forward to any comments–please feel free to email me at toma@botmag.com.
