The Topic Area for the "Call for Technical Papers" is: Propulsion system for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that will improve speed, range and endurance. (Note: Air vehicle launch weight not to exceed 110 lbs. Minimum one-hour endurance. Minimum 20km. Range). Submission of technical papers shall be accomplished in the following manner.
