BMP UAV

BMP UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Beijing MicroPilot Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Flight Control System Ltd. (BMP, 北京麦克普特无人飞行器控制系统有限公司), a company originally formed in 2001 specifically handle the import business of autopilots produced by Canadian firm MicroPilot for UAVs. Over the decade, the company expanded its business to importing other flight control systems to China, such as those produced by Russia. In recent years, in addition to being a supplier of subystems to other Chinese UAV manufacturers, BMP further expanded its business to developing its own brand of UAVs by integrating autopilots and flight control systems to existing airframes, but there are some BMP UAV are designed by BMP itself. As an original equipment manufacturer, BMP is also contractor to produce UAVs developed by other Chinese establishments such as universities, research institutes and other Chinese UAV manufacturers.

D240

D240 target drone is a twin engine jet powered drone in conventional layout with low wing configuration and twin tail. Winglets are also incorporated, and landing gear is tricycle undercarriage. Propulsion is provided by two jet engine mounted over the fuselage. D240 is one of the fewest Chinese jet powered UAV with more than one engine. Specification:

Bone morphogenetic protein 10

Bone morphogenetic protein 10 (BMP10) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMP10 gene.

BMP10 is a polypeptide belonging to the TGF-β superfamily of proteins. It is a novel protein that, unlike most other BMP's, is likely to be involved in the trabeculation of the heart. Bone morphogenetic proteins are known for their ability to induce bone and cartilage development. BMP10 is categorized as a BMP since it shares a large sequence homology with other BMP's in the TGF-β superfamily.

GDF5

Growth/differentiation factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF5 gene.

The protein encoded by this gene is closely related to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily. This group of proteins is characterized by a polybasic proteolytic processing site which is cleaved to produce a mature protein containing seven conserved cysteine residues. The members of this family are regulators of cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues. Mutations in this gene are associated with acromesomelic dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson type; brachydactyly, type C; and chondrodysplasia, Grebe type. These associations confirm that the gene product plays a role in skeletal development.

Growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) is a protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that is expressed in the developing central nervous system, and has a role in skeletal and joint development. It also increases the survival of neurones that respond to the neurotransmitter dopamine, and is a potential therapeutic molecule associated with Parkinson's disease.

Unmanned aerial vehicle

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), and also referred by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled with various kinds of autonomy : either by a given degree of remote control from an operator, located on the ground or in another vehicle, or fully autonomously, by onboard computers.

Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircrafts, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed : UAV stands nowadays at the crossroads of aviation, electromagnetics, radiocommunication, computer science, avionics, automation, cybernetics, and even core fields of artificial intelligence such as computer vision, decision-making, machine learning and robotics.

UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for manned aircrafts. They have and are mostly found in military and special operation applications. Though, UAVs are increasingly finding uses in civil applications, such as policing and surveillance, aerial filming and hobbyist FPV racing.
