The drone aerial surveillance demonstration by ETH Zurich held on Tuesday 18th June 2013 at Wytham Woods was very well attended by many interested persons from quite a diverse set of backgrounds.

The drone with its wing extensions removed and cargo bay open.

The drone is held and the controller starts up the motor ready for launch.

The drone is launched by running and throwing it like a paper aeroplane

The drone takes off with a buzz but soon runs very quietly.

A drone is a definite must have research community fashion accessory

With a ready to fly price of around 3000 euros this research tool represents excellent value for money.
