A quadrocopter could be used to explore Saturn's largest moon
Back in 2014, NASA proposed using drones to explore Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Well, three years later, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab has a pitch for the aeronautics agency. Like NASA suggested a few years ago, Hopkins' craft is a quadrocopter. The school said that its Dragonfly drone is ideal for exploring the moon given its dense atmosphere and weak gravity, making it "perfect" for heavier-than-air flight. "A human could actually strap on wings, flap their arms and fly," Peter Bedini says in the video below.
