Device Profile: Lange-Flugzeugbau Antares self-launching sailplane
Lange Flugzeugbau GmbH has used embedded Linux to build a battery-propelled self-launching sailplane that it says is more reliable, quieter, and easier to operate than similar gliders powered by combustion engines. The Antares glider uses a Geode-powered PC/104 Linux system to monitor and control battery levels.
