Project Cyclops RPV - UAV
A demonstration of the Project Cyclops RPV - UAV system. The system works by transmitting live video from the aircraft using wireless video, which is recieved down to a fully functional cockpit console to view and control the aircraft, true RPV - UAV flying at it's very best!
This video was taken over ten years ago and was filmed at a real airport for a RC public demo.

I actually like the plane, and the first part was a good illustration of how it works. However, that music needs to be turned off, I see no point in elevator music being dubbed into a demonstration video, as I would rather hear the sounds of the plane its self.
