“…Moreover, it is quite remarkable that driven by the mass media [55][56][57][58] and sponsored by major investors, [59][60][61][62] high-performance sports applications are making inroads into social contexts and the education sector. [63][64][65] To conclude this literature review, a specialisation in control techniques has ensured that the use of drones is safely carried out in several sectors. In addition, we are seeing the development of other traditional areas of research that are typical of aircraft geometric design and their transfer to the formal and scientific study of race drones.…”

Drones designed for racing usually feature powerful miniaturised electronics embedded in fairly light and strong geometric composite structures. The main objective of this article is to analyse the behaviour of various models of racing drones and their geometrical structures (airframes). Two approaches have been made: (i) an analysis of the information collected by a set of speed and time sensors located on an indoor race track and using a statistical technique (box and whiskers diagram) and (ii) an analysis of the know-how (flight sensations) of a group of racing pilots using a series of technical interviews on the behaviour of their drones. By contrasting these approaches, it has been possible to validate numerically the effects of varying the arm angles, as well as lengths, on a test race track and relate the geometry of these structures to racing behaviour.

“…One approach to addressing these gaps is to offer interdisciplinary courses, such as the "Engineering Peace" course at the University of San Diego [66], [67]. In the course, mechanical engineering and peace studies students worked together during the semester to design and build a "pro-social," humanitarian drone and payload with cameras to identify palm weevil infestations, metal detectors to sense un-exploded ordinances in Afghanistan, and heat sensors and alarms to alert densely-packed refugee settlements in Thailand of camp fires.…”

is a Postdoctoral Assistant for the Wake Forest Department of Engineering supporting with the development and assessment of character and ethics education in the engineering program. Since 2015 until her current position at Wake Forest she worked as the Director of Research at a youth development non-profit, The Future Project, which has worked with tens of thousands of underserved high school students nationwide to support their development of purpose, agency, hope, and resilience. Prior to this, she spent a decade as a STEM educator (mostly K-12). Her primary interests are in bridging research to practice to create deeply meaningful and impactful educational experiences. Jessica completed her PhD in Adolescent Motivational Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education in 2017. She also has a BA in Biochemistry from The Colorado College, and an MS in Chemistry from

“…We have begun to reimagine the "engineering canon" across a number of classes by framing engineering as a sociotechnical endeavor rather than a purely technical one. These classes include materials science and engineering, heat transfer, user-centered design, engineering and social justice, and an elective on using drones for peace [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
