Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging technology with a large variety of commercial and military applications. In-flight icing occurs during flight in supercooled clouds or freezing precipitation and is a potential hazard to all aircraft. In-flight icing on UAVs imposes a major limitation on the operational envelope. This report describes the unsettled topics related to UAV icing. First, typical UAV applications and the general hazards of icing are described. Second, an overview of the special technical characteristics of icing on autonomous and unmanned aircraft is given. Third, the operational challenges for flight in icing conditions are discussed. Fourth, technologies for ice protection that mitigate the icing hazard are introduced. Fifth, the tools and methods required to understand UAV icing and to develop aircraft with cold-weather capabilities are presented. Finally, an assessment of the current and future regulations regarding icing on UAVs is provided.

Unsettled Voices Beyond Free Speech in the Late Liberal Era
Free Download Tanja Dreher, "Unsettled Voices: Beyond Free Speech in the Late Liberal Era"
English | ISBN: 0367485796 | 2021 | 166 pages | EPUB | 558 KB
From resurgent racisms to longstanding Islamophobia, from settler colonial refusals of First Nations voices to border politics and migration debates, 'free speech' has been weaponised to target racialized communities and bolster authoritarian rule. Unsettled Voices identifies the severe limitations and the violent consequences of 'free speech debates' typical of contemporary cultural politics, and explores the possibilities to combat racism when liberal values underpin emboldened white supremacy.

Revolution and Witchcraft The Code of Ideology in Unsettled Times
Revolution and Witchcraft: The Code of Ideology in Unsettled Times
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031176812 | 440 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
Ideas influence people. In particular, extremely well-developed sets of ideas shape individuals, groups, and societies in far-reaching ways. This book establishes these "idea systems" as an academic concept. Through three intense episodes of manipulation and mayhem connected to idea systems―Europe's witch hunts, the Mao Zedong-era "revolutions," and the early campaign of the U.S. War on Terror―this book charts the cognitive and informational matrices that seize control of people's mentalities and behaviors across societies. Through these, the author reaches two conclusions. The first, that we are all vulnerable to the dominating influence of our own matrices of ideas and to those woven by others in the social system. The second, that even the most masterful manipulators of idea programs may lose control of the outcomes of programmatic manipulation. Amongst this analysis, sixty-plus central conceptual terminologies are provided for readers to analyze multiform idea systems that exist across space, time, and cultural contexts.
