    Nano Hummingbird

    Kinda big for a hummingbird, but still very very interesting...
    video at link.


    It's a bird! It's a spy! It's both
    Backed by the Pentagon's research arm, Monrovia firm AeroVironment has developed the Nano Hummingbird, an experimental miniature drone that could one day do reconnaissance by landing on a window ledge.

    If you gotta be that close to fly it, you could probably just look in the window yourself.



    Pretty cool.

    Did they forget to mention that it is being made by "Air Hogs".

    Home version soon to be avaiable.

    You'd be surprised at the junk the government wants built. They offer up engineering grants for all kinds or weird stuff.

    It's slightly louder than the hummingbirds that I've seen
