Drones: great success for those inflatable

Discussions on drones, especially in regard to security, are on the agenda: it dates back a few days ago -for example - the no-fly zone area of Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, where he held the Super Bowl, for a radius of 50km. In Italy the regulations have added a lot of complexity for those who want to try their hand, both as an amateur, both as a professional, with this type of flying devices. Among multicopter fixed-wing aircraft or there is a third way that is collecting a lot of success in the industry, and that will be the focus of a conference next week in Rome Drone Conference.



"The spread of 'inflatable drones' is one of the latest phenomena of the drone industry," said Luciano Castro, president of Rome Drone Conference. "The restrictions imposed by the National Board for Civil Aviation in the use of drones multirotori or fixed wing in urban or crowded areas have in fact boosted the use of these balloons, which can fly safely and at low cost. It 'a kind of return to the past, which could see over the next few years the sky again plowed by small and large airships. And Italy, which in the last century wrote the most important pages of the history of flight with lighter aircraft air could again be in the forefront on the world stage ".

The subcategories of this type of equipment are many, ranging from simple radio-controlled blimp tethered to up to metaplano and there are also many realities that already use them or study them: universities, laboratories and companies. With lower costs and considerable security, albeit with speed and maneuver limitations. At the moment those aerial shots from above and monitoring are the two sectors which use this type of aircraft, but thinking about how the backbone of a new type of transport are evolving things does not mean that they can also become goods or persons.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
