Closer look at the new Ghost Drone being trialled by the RAF & US Army

Gunners from 15 Squadron of the RAF Regiment have been experimenting with a new type of drone.
The Ghost Drone, so called because of its ability to remain undetected, uses artificial intelligence to work out how noisy it sounds and what it looks like - from the target's point of view.
Flight Sergeant David Shaw showed Forces News how the drone works and explained what makes it different from other remotely piloted aircraft systems.

[@stephenmcelroy1179]

So if the concept of four rotor blades was so pivitol to the first stealth chopper in Vietnam and beyond, why would this only have two rotor blades, the four blades allowed the rotor head to turn at a slower rate keeping the sonic crack at the end of the blades down yet it provided greater lift and speed, then this would seem to be extremely applicable here, just a thought. Still a great concept, with the combustion engine extending the flight time to 55mins. Very cool indeed.

[@RotorWorks]

4 blades increases drag and weight, and reduces endurance.

[@honkhonk8009]

Having 4 rotors means having 4 ESCs. The problem with having 4 ESCs is the sheer amount of RF noise they generate. Its enough to interfere with the VTX equipment on your FPV setup. The less wiring and the less mosfets, the better i guess. Also I guess in terms of aerodynamics, its supposed to be audibly lerss quiet aswell. I think quadcopters are by nature pretty noisy because of all the complex aerodynamics going on, and using this setup is much more simpler and easier to account for acoustics maybe? Also I think its slightly more efficient to use one massive main rotor. Idk for sure though. Combustion engines would be cool but that would mean having to ship the fuel out to wherever you want to set it up. Thats not exactly usefull for the stuff this helis gonna be doing. If your gonna be using fuel, you might aswell use a bigger more expensive drone anyways.

[@PlanePreacher]

There is probably a lot of intentional profit seeking going on from the company who made and sold this. But at the same time single rotors are supposed to be superior in terms of energy efficiency and payloads. Consumer drones are smaller and I suppose do not need to carry such big optics and fly for so long. Duty cycle could also be an issue. Perhaps this thing can do multiple flights all day every day?

These drones wont even be able to get close to Chinese shores, and even if they do, the damage they do would be a joke. Even a 1000 of them won't do anything to china. China's new "SHORAD" systems like type 625E with 6 barrel Gatling gun shooting explosive rounds would utterly wreck any drone.

As a drone pilot i can honestly some of the drones that are coming out or will be in the next few years are crazy. All weather drones, drones that can carry 50kg+ pay loads and more, spidermans green goblin hovercraft already exists..cant wait to fly some of these

At the start of the video, I thought the camera was gonna fall off from the shaking 😂

[@shanefrance5071]

Amazing 😊

We need to fund more into emp based technology/equipment soon if this keeps evolving like this.

[@aka_vicious]

Impressive 👍

I wish they'd used them to prevent wildfires too...

[@ginobragoli1448]

If it's anything like my drone when it's out of sight you will never see it again 😂

[@Calvarydima]

I need one for my stream filming .

[@kuzadupa185]

What about just outputting the opposite sound wave of whatever the drones regular rotor sounds are, kind of like noise cancelling headphones

[@bentspoon1805]

reminds me of the HUNTERKILLERS in terminator but the more they overtake the plumbing the easy it is to stop up the drain.

[@SteveCockneyRebel]

Why are you telling the enemy we have this kit? lol

[@tylersathern1076]

The body should allow wind to pass through, instead of being solid like a 2x4. So it wont be suseptable to the wind pushing it around.

the rotor is pretty slick i like it i wish i could print that fine plastic with my 3d printer :)

They get all the cool stuff.
