The remotely piloted vehicles could one day replace storm chasers, who risk their lives to capture valuable data about tornadoes. The best way for researchers to get information about a tornado is to send sensors high up into the storm--a maneuver that is too dangerous for a manned aircraft and, up until now, has been too complex for most remote-controlled craft. Engineering students at Oklahoma State University have designed three concept drones that may solve this problem. Three teams of stude...
