For the last few years, Puzzlebox has been publishing open source software and hacking guides that walk makers through the modification of RC helicopters so that they can be flown and controlled using just the power of the mind. Full systems have also been custom built to introduce youngsters to brain-computer interfaces and neuroscience. The group is about to take the project to the next stage by making a Puzzlebox Orbit brain-controlled helicopter available to the public, while encouraging user experimentation by making all the code, schematics, 3D models, build guides and other documentation freely available under an open-source license.

OPVs: Inside Firebird
Inside Firebird:
The whole concept of an optionally piloted vehicle (OPV) poses interesting questions about how to design the cockpit displays. For a single-seat OPV, when the pilot is simply flying the UAV from one place to another, then a baseline general aviation type configuration is probably adequate. However for the more ambitious two-seat OPV which puts a sensor/weapons systems operator in the right seat, then it is a whole different story.
