Looncopter wins US $1 million in Dubai

Well done the team from Oakland, some not so small change for the win.

Loon Copter is a novel multi-rotor platform capable of traditional aerial flight, on-water surface operation, and sub aquatic diving. The Loon Copter is a proof-of concept  vehicle that demonstrated  successful  operation in early 2015.  The 3rd prototype of our Loon Copter is now one of the 10 international semifinalist in the 2016 Drones for Good competition, which received 1017 entries from 165 countries
