Qatar building fleet of handheld remote control ‘clouds’ for World Cup 2022

When Qatar , an insanely wealthy Arab emirate roughly the scale of Connecticut, won the bid to host the 2022 World Cup , one of many stipulations was that its newly constructed open-air soccer stadiums will be air conditioned. Needless to say, it truly is Qatar we’re talkin’ about here, so the answer would need to be as extravagant as its insanely wealthy Arab emirate status implies. That’s why it was no huge shock when The Peninsula reported plans to chill a minimum of a few of the nine stadiums as a result of a fleet of solar powered “clouds,” designed and constructed by a undeniable Dr. Saud Abdul Ghani and his team. Dr. Ghani, the pinnacle of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Qatar University, said that the aircraft (more accurately described as really, really slow drones) can be operated by handheld remote control, product of 100% light carbonic materials, and should initially cost half 1,000,000 dollars each. But, really, what’s a couple of million dollars when it’s for a very good cause?
