Four Danish engineering students have captured global attention with their groundbreaking 3D-printed drone that can fly through the air and swim underwater, switching between both with ease.
The drone has the potential to reshape search-and-rescue missions, as well as ocean research.
The innovative machine was built by applied industrial electronics students Andrei Copaci, Pawel Kowalczyk, Krzysztof Sierocki and Mikolaj Dzwigalo at Aalborg University.
It became an internet hit through viral videos showing the drone taking off from beside a pool, diving underwater, swimming around and then flying back up into the air without any help from humans.
The secret is in how the drone’s propellers work. The blades can change their angle depending on whether the drone is in air or water. When flying, the propellers tilt to create lift.
When underwater, they flatten out to cut through the water better and can even spin backward to change direction quickly.
This smart design lets the waterproof drone go from flying to swimming and back again in one smooth motion. Unlike other similar projects that need complex moving parts to transform, this drone keeps things simple but effective.

Good. No Chinese.
👍
You mean Denmark doesn't have any Polacks living in that country? Huh, who knew.......
They may be attending school there, but those are primarily Polish names with the number of “z”’s and consonants.

Ooops, sorry for the double post.

They ain’t Danish.

Like “Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz”

Maybe they can get an airdrop of vowels from some African countries.
Right at the very end of the vid there is a close-up of the pitch control in action, if that is what you are looking to see.
Saw that. I wanted much more detail.
With the short distance, and depending on the freq, probably the RF works just fine.
