The major drawback of current drone technology is the limited battery life and lift power of non-military drones. This comes down to the efficiency of batteries, motors, and propellers; all of which are in need of advancements to make drones a viable solution in search and rescue applications.

When Newcomb was a boy he was separated from his mother and was rescued by a police officer on horseback. The memory of big eyes staring down at him, and the sense of peace that resulted, has motivated Newcomb to rethink contemporary drone platforms.

Today, Newcomb and his team are advancing the technology to where drones can locate people lost in the woods without the need for search parties that often have to hike for days into hostile terrain.

By creating drones that can stay in flight for longer than the current average of 30 minutes, they can be the “eyes in the sky,” locating and communicating with lost hikers while they pinpoint their location.

“The technology which we continue to develop can conserve battery power, at least tripling drone flying time,” says Newcomb. “The technologies needed for the propeller are bionic in nature, designs found in birds, sea turtles, whales and fishes. We already have them designed into the propeller, and they are compelling alterations of current designs.”

Newcomb also speaks of the potential to hoist lost people out of the woods with drones. Helicopters could do this since their inception, so to apply it to a remote controlled aircraft is not altogether unrealistic. “The lift technologies, the motor and the propellers, are the final frontier of drone development,” says Newcomb.

Having made good headway on the project the team eventually ran out of capital. With the engineers and manufacturers lined up to do the work, Newcomb has taken the project to Kickstarter where he hopes to raise the funds necessary to get the project back on track. He reminds readers that each donation goes towards saving lives, and while the project is focused on a technology that is bound to expand, donators will be taking part in something revolutionary.
