Overseas commercialization of the AirSense UAV should begin as early as next year, according to the firm’s CEO. First, though, it is hoped that it will strengthen Korea’s domestic unmanned systems capabilities with its local-tech-centric approach.
We looked through the WOW Future Tech website and couldn’t find a mention of the new cardboard AirSense UAV. However, it looks like it may be a development based on prior work, namely the ‘Paper Wing PW02’ you can see in our pictures.

Much like how all the big corporations were touting the "green" line and now it's all about getting as much power as possible to get their AI fix. Reply

You don't think advances in transportation, infrastructure, medical care, weather forecasting, communications networks, and global supply chains for distributing food and other life-saving aid have had any effect on that figure? Global food aid and mass migration can reduce deaths in a region suffering severe and prolonged drought, but the impact of removing a once-fertile region's crop yields from the global food supply aren't so easy to mitigate. Maybe you should look at global food price inflation, over the past decade. Reply

It's not surprising that someone who doesn't understand that weather and climate are two different things would say something this uninformed. Just for fun here's a piece about how scientists way of counting weather related casualties likely doesn't actually catch anywhere near all of them: LsToZlTBeGc View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsToZlTBeGc Reply
