clipped from www.popularmechanics.com NASA Jumps at Patent for Plasma-Powered UFO Technology Subrata Roy, an aerospace engineer from the University of Florida, recently submitted a patent application for an aircraft that just happens to come in the shape of a flying saucer. Dubbed a “winged electromagnetic air vehicle,” or WEAV, the battery-powered prototype is designed at less than 6 in. across. Even so, Roy insists that the mini sci-fi mobile could be built full-scale for missions like atmospheric surveillance—and that’s got NASA and the Air Force interested. clipped from www.sciam.com The World's First Flying Saucer: Made Right Here on Earth A University of Florida researcher has plans on the drawing board for a saucer-shaped aircraft that turns the surrounding air into fuel clipped from cpdlt.mae.ufl.edu Cut-away schematic of the Wingless Electromagnetic Air Vehicle shows inner hollow chamber for payload cargo.
