 Lockheed Martin Skunk Works ; Transformer TX started out as yet another design for the oft-predicted but never delivered flying car. But it   since turned into an entirely different type of flying machine: an autonomous way for the military to airlift vehicle stanley quencher s and cargo to dangerous areas.     The Transformer TX is a DARPA-funded project  stanley cups uk that was originally going to be a more traditional flying car that could easily traverse even the worst conditions by just taking to the air. But flying car proposals have a sordid past, and like past designs the Transformer TX was scrapped in favor of turning it into an autonomous drone-like craft that could deliver payloads like cargo containers or vehicles. Unlike the military helicopters that are currently used for this purpose, no pilots would be lost if one were shot down. https://gizmodo/coming-never-flying-cars-5870054 And unlike all the flying car designs that have come before it, the Transformer TX is actually being built by Lockheed Martin and Piasacki Aircraft and is expected to begin flight testing as early as 2015. If all goes well, the final version, which will use a pair of pivoting ducted fans to take off vertically and then fly to a drop-off zone, will boast range of 250 miles and a top speed of 200 knots even when ladened with cargo. And thanks to a footprint much smaller than a helicopter, the Transformer TX could realize the flying car dream we ;ve all had for decades now. [Lockhe stanley thermos mug ed Martin via IEEE Spectru

 LOS ANGELES While some say school safety hinges on guns, cameras or alarms in classrooms, Mark Gomer and Kristi Schiller think specially trained dogs should take point in preventing violence in schools.  Gomer s for-profit company has sent a gun- and drug-detecting dog to patrol the halls of an Ohio high school, while Schiller is launching a nonprofit in Houston to give schools the trained canines for free. Their  stanley cup usa programs are still in their infancy, so questions remain about dogs that can distract, scare or send kids into sneezing fits. But they think they can cultivate their id stanley termos eas to help schools across the country stay safe.  Gomer s first full-time safety dog is a year-old Dutch shepherd named Atticus, who reported to duty this school year at Oak Hills High School in Green Township in southwest Ohio.          The dog trained at the school before the summer break, said Gomer, co-owner of American Success Dog Training in Bridgetown, Ohio.
