‘Phantom Twist’: US team designs drone that spins to achieve near-invisibility
SMRTR summary
Northwestern University researchers have built a drone called the "Phantom Twist" that spins its entire body up to 25 times per second, making it ten times harder to see than a conventional drone. Instead of camouflage, it exploits how human eyes blur fast-moving objects, turning the drone into a faint, see-through haze. Future versions aim to also reduce noise and use fully transparent materials.
