The drone industry's latest innovation: making privacy violations look like a magic trick.

Drone spins into ghostly blur, becoming nearly invisible

Northwestern University engineers built a drone prototype that spins so fast—up to 25 times per second—it becomes a blur, effectively invisible to the naked eye. The 'Phantom Twist' exploits the eye's inability to track high-speed motion, blending the aircraft into the background. It's a novel approach to stealth, but don't expect to see it coming.
