"Reaction [beta]"

Delfly 13 Oct 2008

Delfly is a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that imitates the flight of insects and birds - as you can see in the video clip above, its two sets of flapping wings enable it to take-off, hover, fly (both horizontally and vertically) and land in a insect-/bird-like fashion.

The aircraft has been developed by staff and students from the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology, who hope that it will eventually be used to explore "extraterrestrial atmospheres".
