Collaboration Technologies

Collaboration is a joint effort of multiple individuals or work groups to accomplish a task or project.

Collaboration may be asynchronous, in which case those collaborating are not necessarily working together (and in communication) at the same time; in contrast, collaboration may be synchronous (this is known as real-time collaboration), in which collaborative partners are working together simultaneously and in communication as they work.

“Flight of Fancy” or “New Business Opportunity”

To distinguish UAVs from missiles, a UAV is defined as:

a “powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator,

uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can be expendable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload”.

Creating New Capabilities Top Flight Technologies

• Top Flight Technologies is a team of FAA, MIT, Georgia Tech, Aerospace and Software leaders. We have removed two universal challenges for are vertical liftoff multi-rotor UAVs - endurance and payload - using Top Flights Hybrid Propulsion System™.

• Our small footprint and feature-rich hybrid multi-rotor UAV solutions have a flight time of over 2 hours, can fly a range of 100 miles, at wind gusts to 40 mph, carrying 20 lbs and therefore removing these barriers from any application dependent on recharging batteries.
