Description
Summary:Miniaturen ornithoptic aircraft are receiving growing attention from hobbyists and researchers as interest in promising new vehicle designs, made possible by miniaturizations in electronics and improvements in materials manufacturing, synergizes with inspiration from winged creatures in nature. It is envisioned that the agility, maneuverability, robustness, and contextual camouflage exhibited by these avian-inspired robots will fill a niche left open by conventional fixed and rotating wing aircraft in the quest for autonomous flight vehicles which integrate multimission capabilities such as perch and stare maneuvers, flight through cluttered indoor environments, and long endurance flight
