    Abstract: Disclosed is an aircraft, configured to have a wide range of flight speeds, consuming low levels of power for an extended period of time, while supporting a communications platform with an unobstructed downward-looking view. The aircraft includes an extendable slat at the leading edge of the wing, and a reflexed trailing edge. The aircraft comprises a flying wing extending laterally between two ends and a center point. The wing is swept and has a relatively constant chord. The aircraft also includes a power module configured to provide power via a fuel cell. The fuel cell stores liquid hydrogen as fuel, but uses gaseous hydrogen in the fuel cell. A fuel tank heater is used to control the boil-rate of the fuel in the fuel tank. The aircraft of the invention includes a support structure including a plurality of supports, where the supports form a tetrahedron that affixes to the wing.

    Abstract: A remotely-controlled unmanned mobile device (UMD) adapted to function as a robot scout to enter and reconnoiter the site of a disaster and to communicate to a rescue mission information regarding conditions prevailing at the site, making it possible for the mission to decide on rescue measures appropriate to these conditions. The UMD is operable in either of two modes. In its air-mobility mode the UMD is able to vertically take off and land, to fly to the site and then hover thereover. In its ground-mobility mode, the UMD can walk on legs over difficult terrain and through wrecked structures and ruins. The UMD is provided with condition-sensitive sensors for gathering data regarding conditions prevailing at the site, and position-sensitive sensors for avoiding obstacles in the path of the walking UMD, thereby assuring safe mobility. Other sensors govern geo-referenced navigation and flight control functions.
