The company’s Solara unmanned high-altitude aircraft is intended to serve as an “atmospheric satellite,” autonomously flying in the sky’s upper reaches for as long as five years continuously. <a href="/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/solara-uav-atmospheric-satellite/28886/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="28845"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/tu-delft-worlds-smallest-autopilot/28845/">TU Delft has developed the world’s smallest autopilot</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/author/randall-marsh/">Randall Marsh</a></div> <div class="date">August 28, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/tu-delft-worlds-smallest-autopilot/28845/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/tu-delft-worlds-smallest-autopilot/28845/pictures">11 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/tu-delft-worlds-smallest-autopilot/28845/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009230140im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/smallestautopilot-0.jpg" title="With the help of the tiny autopilot, UAVs could be small enough to fit in your pocket" alt="With the help of the tiny autopilot, UAVs could be small enough to fit in your pocket"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> As the word "drone" has become so commonplace that you can literally <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20131009230140/http://www.gizmag.com/drone-it-yourself/28209/" target="_blank">build a UAV out of anything</a>, researchers are aiming to make the technology smaller and more usable in everyday practice.
