Engineers create weird four-wing flapping drones inspired by Bird Wings

We have developed four-winged bird-shaped robots, called ornithopters, that can take off and fly with the agility of the speedy, hummingbirds, and insects. We did this by reverse engineering the aerodynamics and biomechanics of these creatures. Our ornithopters have the potential to outperform and exceed existing drone configurations with static …
