This is the first and only report to analyse all forms of electric flying vehicle from robot insects to new solar airships, light aircraft and airliners and give timelines to 2022. It covers manned and unmanned aircraft, technology, funding, standards and other aspects for hybrid and pure electric versions across the world. Unusually, we compare what is happening in aviation with progress in land and water based electric vehicles that are in some ways further progressed yet use similar components and powertrains to achieve largely similar objectives.

ROADM WSS Component Market - Global Industry Size, Market Share, Trends, Analysis And Forecasts 2012 - 2018
By - Transparency Market Research
ROADM is a system that allows flexible, precise, and remote selection of wavelengths transiting a given intermediate node on network for dropping or adding. ROADM components allow access to any wavelength passing through node. This can be done for adding or modifying the data before transmitting to the next node. ROADM components also allows interconnection of multiple intersecting networks at optical level preventing the expense and complexity of OEO conversions to setting up interconnection.  The key factor contributing to growth of ROADM WSS component market is the...

Medical Tourism Market - Global Industry Size, Market Share, Trends, Analysis, And Forecasts, 2012 - 2018
By - Transparency Market Research
A global surge of patient pool and healthcare professionals along with enhancement in medical technology has propelled the growth in the medical tourism market. Medical tourism is when the consumers opt to travel abroad to take advantage of some form of medical treatment at a more affordable price. Rise in the large number of uninsured population in developed countries like the U.S. and frail reimbursement policies has forced people in these regions to exploit cost effective methods of medical treatments. Even people with insurance policies have to pay out of their pockets for certain...
