The most birdlike model...

... I have seen is demonstrated in this six-minute talk. You've got to wait a couple of minutes until it is actually demonstrated, flying close above the audience.

The bird makes a repeat flight at the end. Worth waiting for. - L.

That is a very realistic looking flight for a bird model. Much better looking than those small plastic rubberband powered toys from a while back. Stuff like that is always interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Leif, thanks for the link. That is truly amazing that a flying model of a bird can be built to actually fly like a bird.

I downloaded that one!!

Thanks,
Swampfox

AMAZING! Thank you for sharing that. The R/C people going to love that, and I can see the military get hold of that and put camera and bomb inside.

That is absolutely fascinating.
I though a company had developed a small humming bird like one for the US government?

All who liked it should thank my son Jon, 38, who is a great fan of these short TED talks. - L.
