Scientist pilots a drone using just his thoughts | Daily Mail Online: "If the idea of getting on a flight already fills you with dread, the latest breakthrough in aviation technology could turn fears into full-blown phobias.

Researchers have successfully shown how a pilot can take off, fly, twist and turn, and land a drone using just his thoughts.
