From SLAviationNetwork on September 12, and pointed out to the Newser by Alden Cortes. As for as everyone is aware, this is the longest automated flight in Second Life. Here, a helicopter automated by Zipperhead Wurgle traveled for a total of 322 sims. There would be one instance of the filmer crashing, and having to catch up to the helicopter. Otherwise the flight went fine.
"Ingenuity: First Aircraft on Mars!"
Saturday September 4
10 AM to 11 AM SL time
First we will examine the conditions and mechanics of flight and what makes Ingenuity’s performance a “Wright Brothers” moment.
Then we will follow Ingenuity’s progress from the drawing board through the dozen or more flights it has taken so far, with a look at how it can operate when its ‘pilot’ is 100s of millions of miles away, plus a peak at possible missions it might undertake in its future.
Finally, we will explore where and how other craft might operate in our solar system now that this technological breakthrough has been achieved.
