The Silent Flyer - A new type of UAV

https://www.silentflyer.tech/

Although the overall appearance will be familiar to all of us.

Hmmm no actual video of even a prototype flying though, but plenty of computer graphic representations. :wink::wink:

When I was a very young man, I learned that, flight like a bird’s was not possible as the wings were constantly changing shape. The technology at the time was just not up to it. Maybe that time has come?

But I am struggling to see a commercial use for this technology - apart from spying on people and industrial espionage. Either one is legally dodgy.

I watched a video last year where the sound of wings was recorded. The only bird that came close to being silent was an owl

Probably not as technically advanced as the Silentflyer but a bloody funny video of a similar concept :dizzy_face: :thinking: :man_shrugging: :rofl: :rofl:

I want one with a camera, basically an FPV bird that can swoop down and catch the radio-controlled pigeons (or mice) operated by the other player.

Do you think that would catch on ? Should I patent the idea ?
(Perhaps a bit too obvious !)
