Rick Lind, a University of Florida professor, shows his prototype airborne vehicle. What's so neat about it is that the wings change shape, like the wings of a bird, to help his vehicle maneuver and turn. Current unmanned airborne vehicles can't do that and are limited in their mobility.
For reconnaissance over a battle field, the UV can fly high, straight and send back images to headquarters. For urban areas, though, where you want to see in between buildings or other hard to reach places, this new vehicle could be what you need.
Fascinating, inventive, and neat.
