The core technical problem IARPA is trying to solve is straightforward in concept but formidable in execution: build drone engines and motors out of materials that perform reliably during a mission, then break down on their own afterward, leaving little or no physical trace. Current drone propulsion components — turbine blades, motor housings, combustion chambers, […]
