Farming Robots!

 Automated Machines Progressing in Agriculture?

Naio Orio is a French company making waves with its 700Kg tool carrier that can work with brassicas and carrot and a host of other crops and coming in at 200,000 Euros for the big farmers is a splash in the pan!

Four models are now available working with a Dutch company they can offer a large selection of tools for automated work on the farms and is one of the many break through's that are being made in the field?

Bi-Planes.

Is the day of the Bi-Plane over?

The Soviet Russian built Antonov An-2/3 still remains in active operation across the world, in it various guises. 

This 12/13 seat utility-transport is now some 75 years old and is still being found difficult to replace. Russian design teams have come up with improved engine performance, various types and payloads etc. But so far none fit the same category of the An-2 exactly. One or the other of the new designs lacks something that encompasses the original. 

Meanwhile in the rest of the world, this type of aircraft has been restricted to either sports or agricultural uses. There are also now many restored historical types flying again.

It would seem that the An-2/3 perhaps will soldier on in remote places for another 75 years?
