Hummingbird-like spy bot takes wing ![]() Engineers at AeroVironment are developing the Nano Air Vehicle (NAV) (or flying spy-bot) under a DARPA sponsored research contract to develop a new class of air vehicle systems capable of indoor and outdoor operation. Employing biological mimicry at an extremely small scale, this unconventional aircraft could someday provide new reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities in urban environments. Watching these clips of various prototypes designed to fly just like a hummingbird is fascinating. Archives:
