More than a toy, this remote-controlled aircraft, under development by Lockheed in the United States, will be used to locate military targets. Named Aquila, the plane will be equipped with television cameras and laser ranging devices to enable it to pinpoint enemy positions. The special sound chamber at Lockheed’s Sunnyvale plant, in California, is equipped with a matrix of foam-rubber spikes, which prevent the reflection of radio wave commands that can upset the testing.
