  • Professor Ron Fearing and his students at the University of California at Berkeley are using Dickinson's information to build a micromechanical fly. In the photo a 30% larger than final size scale mockup of the Micromechanical Flying Insect (MFI) is compared with its inspiration, the blow fly Calliphora erythrocephala. Researchers expect the stainless steel MFI to be flying in the lab by 2003. The main problem to be overcome in such a small device is an adequate power supply.

  • In the same building as Robert Full at UC Berkeley is Michael Dickinson, whose email address "FlymanD" is revealing. Dickinson is a biologist specializing in the study of the aerodynamics of flapping flight. His bizarre studies of fruit fly flight are fascinating. In one small room sits a Plexiglas tank filled with two metric tons of mineral oil. Suspended in the oil are giant mechanical models of fruit fly wings, RoboFly. Because the tiny movements of the wings of a real fruit fly displace air on such a small scale that the air acts sticky, RoboFly enables Dickinson to study similar forces when the giant wings are flapping in oil.

  • Long-EZ flying above the Mojave desert in California. The aircraft is of an unusual design, having forward-mounted "canard" wings instead of a tail plane and a rear-mounted "pusher" propeller. The canard makes the plane virtually stall proof. It has a slightly steeper tilt than the regular wing; thus the canard begins to stall before the main wing, and as it does so, it drops the nose and gains speed. The Long-EZ has a range of up to 7700 kilometers, a ceiling of 27,000 feet (8230 meters) and a top speed of 309 kilometers per hour. The aircraft is available in a kit form, manufactured by the Rutan Aircraft Factory, which can be assembled in as few as 1000 hours.

  • UFO billboard. Sign advertising UFO Space Storage in Roswell, New Mexico, USA. The town has many tourist attractions around the theme of UFO's. It was near Roswell on the evening of 2 July 1947 that many UFO sightings were reported during a thunderstorm. Next morning a rancher, Mac Brazel, discovered strange wreckage in a field. When the impact site was located, a UFO craft and alien bodies were allegedly found. On 8 July 1947, the Roswell Daily Record announced the capture of a flying saucer. The official explanation was that it was a crashed weather balloon. Many Roswell inhabitants, however, believe this a cover up, and Roswell has become a symbol for UFO enthusiasts. (1997).

  • T-28 armor-plated aircraft used to fly through storm clouds to measure particle sizes and cloud electrification. Cape Canaveral (Kennedy Space Center), Florida. (1991).Lightning occurs when a large electrical charge builds up in a cloud, probably due to the friction of water and ice particles. The charge induces an opposite charge on the ground, and a few leader electrons travel to the ground. When one makes contact, there is a huge backflow of energy up the path of the electron. This produces a bright flash of light, and temperatures of up to 30,000 degrees Celsius.

  • A helicopter sprays flowers grown for seed: Lompoc, California. USA. The Lompoc Valley is said to have the most consistent temperate climate in the world, which is a critical factor in the cultivation of flowers.  The valley has been a flower seed-producing region for nearly 100 years. In the early 1980's, Lompoc Valley was producing one-third of the world's flower seeds.  Lompoc is a 12-mile-long, and 3-mile-wide valley, which lies just inland from the coast of California, about 150 miles north of Los Angeles. There are 1600 acres of 600 varieties of flowers from which they harvest approximately 400 tons of seeds each year. Crop dusting of flower fields (spraying pesticides).

  • BASE jumping from New River Gorge bridge, Bridge Day, West Virginia, USA. BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects.

BASE jumping is much more dangerous than skydiving from aircraft and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport. -from Wikipedia.
