After debating whether to use my personal twitter for my drone endeavors as well as golf and anything else I’m up to, I decided a drone-centric Twitter just for Ambient Flight was necessary. I need another Twitter account like I need a lipo to explode during flight, but it makes sense for this site to have it’s own complete social identity.

 SANTA CLARA, Calif. Aug. 27, 2015 –Intel Capital has invested more than $60 million in Yuneec Holding Ltd. (“Yuneec”), a worldwide leader in electric aviation.

And with the coming addition of Intel technology inside, Yuneec’s smart drones can create amazing possibilities,” said Krzanich. “We’re pleased to collaborate with a leader in this important new space.”

Yuneec intends to use the funding to accelerate product marketing and development.
