When scientists wish to gather oceanographic data over long distances – but without disturbing marine life – autonomous "underwater gliders" are often used. A new one is claimed to be highly ...

You see a plane, you expect to hear an engine. But gliders are a different breed of aircraft, representing flight in its purest form. They are frankly a testament to just how far clever engineering ...

Scientists from Project CETI have developed an AI-enabled underwater glider that can autonomously track sperm whale vocalizations in real time for potentially months without disturbing the animals.

DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — A battery-powered glider crashed into the roof of a Connecticut home, injuring the pilot and scaring a mother and her two children who were watching TV. Neighbors described ...

If you want to gather oceanographic data over long distances, an "underwater glider" is often the best way to go. A novel system from California-based company Seatrec should soon power such vehicles, ...

Airbus plans to examine how contrails may change as a result of hydrogen combustion at high altitudes. To that end, the company launched the project "Blue Condor," which will see a glider fitted with ...

A century after the Wright Brothers first took to the skies, the world of flight is pushing to new depths. Researchers are perfecting innovative gliders that can swoop and soar on journeys covering ...

Scientists with Project CETI have developed an autonomous underwater glider that uses AI to detect and follow sperm whales by their vocalizations in real time. The system can track whales for months ...
