Opinion about the project: “Dragonfly”, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
On the basis of the available documentation for the “Dragonfly” UAV, it can be concluded that it belongs to the category of very original aerodynamic and technical solutions which have not been recorded in the whole world annals of aeronautical structures. The similar ideas appeared, especially during the pioneer era of the aviation development, but these ideas have not been fit in a way it is seen in the “Dragonfly” designed by Boško Atanacković, aeronautical engineer and academic painter.
In this flight vehicle, the author has succeeded to join the laws of aerodynamics and imagination of an excellent artist into a rational flight vehicle that would find useful application in the realization of modern aviation numerous tasks. |

Joining of technical and organic motifs in Boško Atanacković's painting reflects his dual personal professional engagement as aeronautical engineer and graduate painter. As a starting point since the earliest days, he has used geometric structures, the most often derived from sequential modules applied in the structural analysis of aircraft structures. Created accompanying cycle of sketches, drawings and paintings, on the other hand, has influenced on the final appearance of his engineering structures with practical purpose as well as independent objects-sculptures. Work on the project of UAV "Dragonfly", started in 2003. and completed in 2012., was also marked by deep permeation of structural and artistic author's habit, which entirely produced an original painting style hybrid of valuable and, in this context, surprisingly luxurious sensuality.
