Of the first Mid-Atlantic Aviation in Virginia Tech partnership vol test carried out with the help of a aircraft, he sets a course for inspection of the pipeline from energy -- with one pilot plane to behind Chase security beyond the line in terms of the observer in the floor -- ended last week.

The theft was a step forward in the implementation of inspections airlines large-diameter pipes safe and economic, the researchers say.
The theft took about 90 minutes and covers approximately 11 km on a society pipelinière colonial influence almost the fork in rural areas of the Union in Virginia.
The job has been monitored the Mid-Atlantic aviation partnership in Virginia Tech and supported by concerted research pipeline Research Council international arms industry pipelinière of energy.
American Aerospace Technologies, Inc. , based in Pennsylvania society creates aircraft systems for use by the industry without pilots delivered and controlled aircraft test -- a RS-16 SAMU can a special sensor equipped to identify the threats to the integrity of the piping. Controlled helicopter monitoring the Chase aircraft without pilot for reasons of security.
"The inspection of cargo piping energy is required due to the laws Federal and generally with the help of aircraft flights controlled steering wheel," said David Yoel, head of the Directorate General for technologies in the aviation industry of the USA Inc. " If we give them aircraft without pilot technologies, we can reduce the risks for the pilots and the public, and a better protection of the key infrastructure of the country." The results
so far show that airplanes without pilots for the implementation of police officers of the pipeline, Yoel said. Ultimately the Federal Aviation Administration shall decide whether the measures of aircraft pilots to review the public services without met the safety standards.
Virginia Tech, with partners of the University of Rutgers University and the University of Maryland operates one of the six FAA-approved aircraft without pilot plant of the test programs in the nation, under the banner of the region in the center of the Atlantic Coast partnership aviation.
"It is important because it is one of the first flights with aircraft using a Chase, sets - system of aircraft without pilot for the infrastructure of the inspections, said Rose mooney, Executive Director of the region in the center of the Atlantic coast aviation partnership with seat in the institute Virginia Tech critical technologies and applied sciences. " We have the permission of the FAA to monitor the flights of the aircraft without pilot with an airplane hunting. Chase aircraft pipelinière comments the FAA and industry to a better understanding of the requirements in the field of safety of flights of SAMU for flights included a long duration and long distances, such as the controls of the pipeline."
The research is part of the pipeline Research Council International Law automated way Monitoring (RAMs) projects, innovative technologies to improve the checks and automation of the monitoring of the pipeline the United States and the rest of the world.
The piping mainly undermined. The damage can accidentally during the grubbing-up, construction or farm work.
One of the objectives of the draft is to increase the RAM air traffic control aircraft without rights of way with pilots and other techniques, with the ultimate goal in real-time, continuous as detection and reporting of machines of the threat to the integrity of the piping.
"As an entrepreneur, the use of techniques for inspection air transport infrastructure from 2008, because I hope that their use in remote and rural areas from 2017," said Yoel. "We we need more work and other tests to ensure that we can offer this service. I believe that we can improve the safety and efficacy above the level of today. "
