Researchers found Andean condors spent just one per cent of their time aloft flapping their wings, mostly during takeoff. One bird flew more than five hours, covering more than 160 kilometres ...

Conclusion China’s latest bird drone mimics the animal’s flapping wings while flying. As a result, it opens new exciting applications for unmanned autonomous vehicles.

“This allowed the implementation of flapping mechanisms and testing of the aerodynamics of the flapping wing drone.” A lifelike robo-bird zombie could have some serious, real-world applications.

The US Air Force is creating microdrones that can flap their wings like a bird or insect. It is working with Airion Health to create a micro air vehicle that can alter its speed and maneuver like ...

The project, dubbed BIOFLY, is based on a drone made by Marseille, France-based company Bionic Bird in 2014. The drone features wings made of carbon fiber and a body made of polymers—all ...

Northwestern Polytechnical University researchers created a unique drone that looks and flies like a bird. It is significantly smaller than most unmanned autonomous vehicles and has flapping wings ...
