Ferrari Segway PT i2 Limited Edition (via FinalSense) “The special and limited version of the Segway is going to be called Ferrari Segway i2 Personal Transporter. Besides the new red color, the handlebar made of leather, and the Scuderia Ferrari logo which is located on the base, there are no other differences when comparing to other Segways.

Helios Prototype from NASA “Helios is one of several remotely-piloted aircraft-also known as uninhabited aerial vehicles or UAV’s-being developed as technology demonstrators by several small airframe manufacturers under NASA’s Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) project. Developed by AeroVironment, Inc., of Monrovia, Calif., the unique craft is intended to demonstrate two key missions: the ability to reach and sustain horizontal flight at 100,000 feet altitude on a single-day flight, and to maintain flight above 50,000 feet altitude for at least four days, both on electrical power derived from non-polluting solar energy.”
