Taxidermied Bird Drones
No flying vehicle we’ve ever created can outperform a bird in flight when it comes to maneuverability, efficiency, and natural movement, but researchers from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology have an idea to improve the capabilities of drones. They’re not just designing them to look and fly like birds, but are using actual dead birds for the drone’s body and wings, which results in a lighter craft that’s naturally camouflaged because it blends in with nature.
