Is that thing real?How is it flying.I seriously doubt those fake wings are keeping it aloft.Flaps much too slowly and disjointedly to keep it up in the air.Must have another lift method.

I don't know… just watched a little but it fooled me.

The wings have variable speed. There is another video out there that shows it taking off, soaring, just about everything a real gull would do, except drop a load on you

I doubt it would last very long if they painted that thing to look like a pheasant and flew it over a WMA during small game season.

It generates thrust by twisting the tips of the hand wings within a fraction of a second during the wing beat to provide the thrust. This is actually neat stuff and would fool most people. It does look a bit unstable for a camera unless it has pretty good image stabilization.

The other vid;

and the technical stuff from TED.

And a fish, probably tough to filet.

I recently saw this and immediately thought of this thread.

Looks quite real.

Looks like somebody stuffed Tigger

There will never be a stealth drone till they figure out how to cut that racket out they make.

Drones produce some great photos and let us see things differently ....Myself I hate them when out in the woods in a nice clearing and some yang wants to buzz over me. It has only happen 1 time
