Indian team flies remote controlled aircraft with cellphone
A Mechanical Engineering research team based in Punjab has tweaked out a remote control plane to use what is ironically verboten during flight as its means of control. Using a programmable chip on the plane, the team was able to successfully take off and land the aircraft with a cellphone -- no brand mentioned -- and are now busying themselves with "perfecting the art of speed, height and direction of the plane." We wish them good luck with that, as those are the key elements to not having to cough up money for a new plane for every run.
