    New inspection drone uses wind to lengthen flight times

    EPFL spin-off Elythor has developed a new drone whose wing shape can adapt to wind conditions and flight position in real time, reducing the drone’s energy consumption, in collaboration with the School of Engineering’s Laboratory of Intelligent Systems. The position of the drone’s wings can change, allowing it to fly vertically or ho…
