A new drone shaped like a bird. Chinese developers have shown a new drone made in the shape of a bird.
Such an invention can turn the drone industry upside down.
The drone is able to fly with the help of wing flapping like a real bird and looks the same.
ornithopters arent exactly new
It also seems to have fewer purposes. If you are trying to get footage or even just a picture it seems like a normal drone is much easier. Takeoff, landing, hovering seem to be weighted to the quad copter design.
The one thing it has going for it is covert surveillance.
These would have fantastical scouting capabilities. Pretty alright at being undercover as long as the target isnt looking for them. You could easily storm a few places unexpectedly with a little bit of explosives and these. This is that shit the Wizard and the evil chick were drooling over in Wicked.
RIP all birds
Birds aren’t real
This seems like it would be ideal for spying on your own citizens. Expect a US version soon - if there isn’t one already, that is.
Is there like a law of the Internet that says even the dumbest conspiracy theories will eventually come true? If so I want to know the name given how it keeps happening.
Ornithopters have been around for over 100 years. It’s not really breaking now ground.
