Did you know that Philippines
have developed a homegrown practical, but less costly Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV) prototypes a decade ago? Yes, it is true. The joint project of the
Philippine Army and OB Mapua and Partners firm with Architect Oscar Mapua as
the main designer came up with a very useful project that every Filipino must
be proud of.
They have made five UAV models
which then namely Rica, Rufa, Alexandra, Assunta and Claudia. These UAVs are not
that sophisticated foreign type or made from contemporary materials, but it propeller-driven
and made from of-the-shelf materials such as wood, foam, fiberglass and
aluminum tubes.
