Kids win first prize for their RC Reconnaissance Plane
The two teenagers who invented the radio controlled reconnaissance plane won first prize on Thursday night at the International Science Fair.
The students were awarded trophies, medals and a prize of $1,500 each for their invention, which allows the user to perform unmanned reconnaissance via a radio controlled plane. The US Air Force provided them with the prize.
The plane is made from Styrofoam and is just three feet long, housing two digital cameras. One of the camera takes photographs while the other is linked up to a set of video goggles, that allow the user to control the plane, and see through the camera, from the ground, as though they were looking out of the cockpit window.
Alex Wold, one of the inventors, stated:
What makes our plane unique is that it’s so inexpensive anyone can do surveillance from the air.
His colleague Jerry Farke said the plane went down very well at the event.
We had at least 30 judges look through the goggles. Some people even wanted us to patent it.
The future looks bright for these two RC enthusiasts.
