NASA Pathfinder by AeroVironment
Originally tested at Area 51 under Project HALSOL in 1983, the Pathfinder is a solar-powered UAV. Following declassification it served as a NASA test aircraft in the early 90s. The Pathfinder was the basis for both the Centurion and Helios.
Tests at Area 51 were cancelled when data concluded technology for both energy storage and photovoltaic cells were not mature enough for operational use.
Tag List (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Most of these are self-explanatory, but I'll elaborate on a few:
Tech: Very broad term for electronics and vehicles.
Hardware: Physical electronics, not including physical media
Software:
Tactical: Military-esque content
Historical: Historical content; can be contemporary reproduction, or slightly inaccurate.
Fantasy
Sci-fi
Weapons
Tactical Gear: Modern tactical
Armor: Historical, fantasy, or other kinds of armor. Doesn't include modern military gear; that falls under tactical gear.
A collection of things I am inspired by. Mostly objects, especially technology and tactical gear.
