The goal of this innovative project is to fly this flapping winged aerobot concept in an extraterrestrial atmosphere, towards which Ursa Minor is working in collaboration with the Universities of Delft and Wageningen. A demonstrator has been implemented for use in Earth atmosphere, capable of autonomous, stable and robust straight-line flight and hovering, as well as take-off and landing. A pinhole camera payload is currently integrated with data transmission capability.

  • at first i thought it was a crappy toy, but now it looks really cool!!!

  • now we just have to turn it into a bomb

  • It's a 'thopter in the making!

  • No jet engines, no rotors, that's the future of efficient aircraft. Science should copy nature in every way possible

  • Good to see RC ornithopters are still progressing. A lot has changed since FlyTech released their Dragonfly a couple of years ago. This is obviously based on that design but a bit more refined. Keep up the good work.

  • wow.. great :)

  • I would like to buy one for my daughter. After Nasa is finished with it, can they send me one for 10 quid?
