A list of interesting projects to engage people in cutting-edge technologies that could change the shape of the near future.
This list is currently based on my interests in drones and other aircraft design concepts.
Also, this list shows how difficult it is to develop such projects to make them sustainable projects.
In this list you can also see many inactive or cancelled projects. You may see some projects that have already tried to be revived after being cancelled, are trying to be revived today, or may try to do so in the future.
How is this list filtered:
- There only actual existing or near future projects or near past cancelled projects.
- This list does not include awesome historical projects, but maybe has some historical references.
Enjoy!
