From the Tico TImes: Unmanned drones to explore mystery of volcano plumes
There are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying over Costa Rica. But these drones don’t drop bombs.
Researchers from the University of Costa Rica unveiled the two new aircraft on Monday. One, an airplane, is outfitted with high-tech tools to analyze the makeup of volcanic plumes that spew ash, rock and gas into the air. The other is a four-rotor helicopter that can be flown in and around volcanoes and areas struck by natural disasters to collect data.
