Medevac UAV concept

This is an interesting concept from Israel's Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies.

It is designed to carry up to 4 casualties, and fly up to 10,000ft high at speeds of 150kts.

So what happens when there is no-one with the casualty to load him into the UAV?

neuroArm Performs First Brain Surgery

A 21 year old Canadian Woman called Paige Nickason was that person, and recently she had a brain tumor successfully removed with the help of a machine called neuroArm.

Full press release follows.
