The Red Bull Air Race




This is a growing sport which its extremely dangerous. Many planes crash and debris has been known to hit the spectators.

For these pilots to fly these places the way that they do, they are dependant on the machines and pray that their reliable. To ensure that the driver is safe and that the plane can maneuver in the way it should, there is a massive amount of technology put into these planes.







This planes are filled with technology and different microcontrollers which are used to controll all the conponnets on the plane, like the winglets on each side and the back. also these microcontrollers are also used to give back information on the planes status. This is even more so with bigger passenger planes which are filled with gadgets to protect the passengers; heres an image.
