The field of innovative technology continues to develop at a rapid pace, with drones at the forefront of the movement. Now, one Icelandic company called Flygildi has unveiled their new drone at the DroneX Expo in East London’s ExCel center.
This robot, named Silent Flyer UAV, is designed to fly exactly like a bird in order to remain undetected during spying missions.
Unlike traditional drones which use propellers for flight, the Silent Flyer UAV utilizes flapping wings that mimic those of real birds. This revolutionary method allows it to blend into its natural surroundings and give users an edge when it comes to stealthy reconnaissance or surveillance work.
It is also significantly quieter than other types of drones due to its unique design and operation mechanism.
A group of researchers from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology have been working on another project involving taxidermy birds used as aircrafts in order to gain insight into bird behavior or explore military applications. Their current prototype can remain airborne for up 20 minutes before needing recharging, although they hope that future iterations will be able to stay aloft even longer periods of time while being tested among live birds in their natural environment.
The implications of these two projects are immense; not only could they help us understand more about our feathered friends but they could also have enormous practical applications for spying missions or wildlife conservation efforts.
Furthermore, by using taxidermy birds instead of manufactured parts for aircraft construction may lead to cost savings as well as less environmental waste produced over time since fewer resources would need be utilized during manufacturing process.
Today’s technology continues pushing boundaries further every day, allowing us access new realms previously thought impossible just a few short years ago.
The development and implementation of silent flying robots that mimic bird flight are yet another example how far we have come along with tech advancements. With any luck we should soon see more successful implementations and applications for this kind of engineering marvels in the near future.
