Video: High-speed drone lands on moving truck with shock absorbers, reverse thrust
SMRTR summary
Canadian researchers developed the DART drone that successfully lands on vehicles moving at highway speeds up to 68 mph using friction-based shock absorbers and reverse thrust technology. In 38 consecutive test landings on a moving pickup truck, the system solved the longstanding challenge of high-speed drone landings that typically result in crashes or bouncing, potentially revolutionizing military reconnaissance and logistics operations.
