Recently, China Central Television (CCTV) released footage of an extremely special new drone , which is said to closely resemble birds in their natural environment. Experts confirm that this vehicle has a mechanism to operate by flapping its wings like a real-life bird.

Here, the wings can stretch and fold like a bird's wings, which means it has almost unparalleled flight efficiency similar to that of a real bird, so it can bring great applications in medicine. both military and civil sectors.

The clip includes the drone's design, research and development process, as well as clips of field testing. The vehicle was developed by a team of researchers from Northwest Polytechnic University (NWPU) of Xi'an, China.

The Eurasian Times reported that the university has close links to China's defense research sector, and they are famous for their significant contributions to the development of drones and technology. supersonic.

CCTV also reported that the 'Small Falcon' vehicle has been integrated with a specialized flight model that can imitate birds, by developing a new flight operating mechanism through a cone-shaped rotating shaft. The vehicle can fold its wings when flapping, fold only one wing when flying, adjust the flapping speed, and can also lock its wings to perform gliding maneuvers.

According to CCTV, 'Small Falcon' has potential applications in military reconnaissance, ecological monitoring and environmental protection because it can hardly disturb wildlife.

A Chinese aviation expert who requested anonymity also told the Global Times that it is actually difficult to distinguish it from a real bird with the naked eye, especially when it is higher in the sky. Therefore, this ability allows this aircraft to blend perfectly with its surroundings, making them more difficult to detect by radar.
