Researchers are increasingly searching nature for design motivation in a broad variety of mechanical devices. Doing so permits them to copy on the millions of years of evolution that have resulted in designs presenting better performance and efficiency. Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) is one ground that has benefited the maneuverability and performance virtue of nature’s minute flyers, with various efforts being made to imitate these designs and create vehicles that do better than traditional fixed-wing or rotary-wing craft. We’ve observed the growth of a miniature a ‘nano air vehicle’ derived by the hummingbird, a UAV based on a Pterodactyl and a six-inch elongated robotic spy plane that draws on the physical qualities of a bat.
