Hi Some guys has mentioned some people can make their robot plane to fly through the Atlantic ocean. Can that airplane able to transfer back the image in real time, i guess it can't, otherwise, it is a top-missile. Does that project have a website?
thanks from Peter ( snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com)
Here's the site of the first (and as far as I know the only, so far) model airplane to fly across the Atlantic. It was widely discussed on many newsgroups when it succeeded in 2003:
There's very neat. I had no idea a plane so small could carry enough fuel to run for 38 hours and make it across the Atlantic! I would have guessed it would have been done with a solar powered model plane.
Who who's going to build a land based robot to travel across the country on it's own? Or a boat to sail itself around the world?
Facinating questions/suggests Curt. There are still many ways one can distinguish themselves in robotics. Opportunities for world records abound.

Hi, These guys did it a few years before Maynard Hill's crew did, but the plane weighed too much to be called a model:

Very cool!
