NTU-built drones to fly at Singapore Airshow

NTU-built drones to fly at Singapore Airshow

The air force's Black Knights will not be the only ones flying in formation at the Singapore Airshow. A group of drones built by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) will be showing off some fancy aerial moves as well.

This has been made possible after a research team from the university developed a system to solve the tricky problem of getting drones to move together, without crashing into each other.

A possible use of the system, which took over three years to build, could be to co-ordinate the drones as they search for survivors in a disaster zone.
