  • Razor sets new drone technology standards:
  1. Can fly at 500 mph, to an altitude of 20,000-feet
  2. Autonomous with 200-mile range
  3. High speed VTOL with 8 small jet turbines
  4. Can take off & land vertically from a 10'x10' area
  5. Said to be the most advanced surveillance vehicle yet
  6. Can lead squadrons of 1000+ high performance aircraft
  7. Can carry payloads of 500 pounds+
  8. High agility & can maneuver like a jet fighter

  • Uses:  Military, disaster and civilian
  • This drone is also a platform to develop technologies for the Speeder flying motorcycle targeted for 2028

  • An international team of scientists has found that the King of Dinosaurs, T-Rex, was probably not as smart as had been thought.  Here's what we know:
  • Previous experts had deduced that dinosaurs were as smart as primates
  • Current endocasts (molds of fossil skulls) that estimate brain size and tissue proportions give a closer proximation of intelligence
  • According to recent scientific findings, T-Rex's intelligence is closer to that of a crocodile rather than a lofty, smarty pants baboon
  • So, who was the smartest dinosaur?  The Troodon, a dinosaur with a brain the size of an avocado, that was a bird-like dinosaur and stood 11-feet tall and clearly on a higher intellectual level than T-Rex.
