The insect-like exo-skeleton design of this microdrone uses composites because weight has a major impact on flight times. The structural architecture of the MD4-200 uses epoxy resin reinforced with ...

The photovoltaic micro aerial vehicle has a footprint of 0.15 m x 0.15 m and a weight of only 0.071 kg. According to its creators, it is the smallest solar-rechargeable multi-rotor ever developed to ...

As an emerging frontier in biomimetic intelligent microsystems, insect-scale flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs) demonstrate significant application potential due to their exceptional ...

Flapping micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) emulate the unsteady aerodynamic mechanisms of insects and small birds, exploiting rapid wing motions to generate lift, thrust and control forces within a low ...

The UK Ministry of Defence has contracted Elbit Systems UK to equip the British Army with Magni-X micro-uncrewed aerial systems from later this year. The UK Ministry of Defence has contracted Elbit ...
