The speaker has no specialist knowledge of agricultural aviation and will therefore briefly describe the aircraft, and provide thoughts on possible uses in aid of agriculture.The ultra-light autogyro is probably the smallest practical aircraft of any type. Happily it does not need to be correspondingly fragile or delicate and it is little affected by turbulence or inclement weather, in the air or on the ground.Some thought has already been given to an agricultural autogyro, although a somewhat larger machine than the Wallis autogyro was envisaged. While advantages would undoubtedly ensue from the larger size, such an aircraft would probably be in competition with comparable helicopters and fixed - wing machines. By the time development was complete there might be no great saving in first cost or maintenance.
This talk uses real-world case studies to explore where and how open research can address global challenges and make a difference in the lives of everyday people worldwide. We explore these challenges through the work of UCL’s Office for Open Science and Scholarship and discuss how it is approaching support for similar projects and the expansion of the institution’s achievements in Open Science across the board.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
