While operations engineer and Dryden model shop technician Red Jensen prepares to mount the canopy over a subscale sailplane’s avionics, model shop intern Derek Abramson prepares the DROID-3 tow plane for a UAS-to-UAS Air Tow demonstration. The flights of the two small unmanned aircraft helped validate systems and procedures and reduce risk en route to a full-scale demonstration of the innovative Towed Glider Air-Launch Concept.
