An experimental radio-controlled model aircraft casts a unique shadow as it flies inside a Dryden hangar using only a spotlight as an energy source.
An experimental radio-controlled model aircraft casts two unique shadows as it flies inside a Dryden hangar using two spotlights as energy sources. This phase of testing was used to develop procedures and operations for "handing off" the aircraft between different sources of power.
