If it is found that this technology in this project is currently viable, and research produced at Wikiversity proves fruitful, then intellectual property issues come into play. At traditional universities, when new technologies are produced often, the university earns money from licensing these technologies. I am not a lawyer so I cannot say what legally is or is not true, however, it should be stated right off the bat that if it is found that this technology is in fact new, and/or patentable then while the writings here are probably subject to the licenses inherent in the Wikimedia projects, proper compensation should be granted to both the Wikimedia Foundation and those involved in producing the research in this project. This of course depends on: the law surrounding the intellectual property contained herein, and the goodwill of those who ultimately adopt the technology if it is found viable, useful, and desirable.

This project will attempt to assess whether or not the state of the art is currently conducive to this sort of technology, and if it is, how best to implement the technology.

Possible uses for this technology include: wireless mesh network clouds, speaker systems, lighting systems, video monitoring systems, cleaning and sanitation, shipping, reconnaissance aerial photography systems, and so forth.

  • Can systems be made that can remain airborne a long period of time?
    • Are solar cells currently advanced enough to allow this?
    • Do other technologies exist that could allow this?
    • Can this be done inexpensively?
  • Can software be developed to allow:
    • Communication between these devices
    • The devices to remain autonomous and safe
    • Communication between the ground
    • The devices to remain autonomous for long periods
  • Can this be done to look attractive and aesthetically pleasing?
    • Can a twin blade design keep a vehicle aloft in an enclosure or in some hidden manner or other configuration?
