Eristalis tenax, the common drone fly, is a common, migratory, cosmopolitan species of hover fly. [2] It is the most widely distributed syrphid species in the world, and is known from all regions except the Antarctic.
Several species are known as drone flies (or droneflies) because they bear a resemblance to honeybee drones. Drone flies and their relatives are fairly common generalist pollinators , [ 2 ] the larvae of which are aquatic, and breathe through a long, snorkel -like appendage, hence the common name rat-tailed maggots .
Eristalinus taeniops can reach a length of 11–14 millimetres (0.43–0.55 in). [5] These hoverflies exhibit a bee-like yellow and black coloration (Batesian mimicry) and are often mistaken for wasps or bees.
For terms see Morphology of Diptera.Chloropidae are minute to small (1.0 to 4.0 mm), rarely medium-sized, flies (6.0 to 9.0 and 12 mm) They are either black, gray, yellow, or greenish and the mesonotum often has a pattern of three to five dark longitudinal stripes against a light-colored background.
[7] The posterior portion of the fly's metathorax, or scutellum, has a pair of stout processes, and often the laterotergite (one of a number of lateral flanges) of the postnotum (a small dorsal sclerite on the insect thorax posterior to the notum) has a dome-like swelling or spine-like process. The anterior femora of the legs are stout, with ...
The system also landed with a 26 knot crosswind. By 25 July 2012, the Army's Gray Eagle Block 1 aircraft has accumulated more than 35,000 flight hours since it was first deployed in 2008. On 25 June 2012, General Atomics announced that the Gray Eagle had been deployed in its first full company of 12 aircraft. [31]
The Mavic Pro introduced the OcuSync 1.0 transmission system capable of livestreaming video in 1080p up to a distance of 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) and 720p beyond. [2] [4] The drone has a top speed is 65 km/h (40 mph) in sport mode, a range of 4.3 miles (6.9 km), and is powered by a 3830 mAh battery giving it a flight time of 27 minutes. [5]
First flight is expected to take place at the end of 2020. The Elang Hitam, according to its development plan, will be armed with missiles and capable of flying up to 30 hours non-stop with a cruising altitude of up to 23,000 ft. The specification is said to match the Chinese-made CH-4 Rainbow drone. [7]
