How to Make an Invisible Drone

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a spinning drone called Phantom Twist that becomes nearly transparent during flight. The computational design generates a unique flight mode where the drone’s body rotates rapidly, making it difficult to see.

The computational design generates a spinning drone that’s nearly transparent.

The drone’s spinning motion creates a visual effect that renders it almost invisible to the naked eye. This innovation could have applications in surveillance, search and rescue, or other scenarios where stealth is beneficial.
