- treeface 16y agoThis post is painfully scarce on any real details and doesn't provide a link to a video of it in action, substituting quality for a joke image. If I could downvote, I would. Instead I'll just provide some alternate resources: Video of Nano Hummingbird: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96WePgcg37I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96WePgcg37I Nano Hummingbird on AeroVironment, Inc's (the creator's) website: http://www.avinc.com/nano http://www.avinc.com/nano An Engadget post on the thing (also lacking many expository details): http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/18/darpa-funded-nano-hummingbird-spybot-takes-flight-video/ http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/18/darpa-funded-nano-humming... A Kurzweilai.net post on it (not many details here either): http://www.kurzweilai.net/nano-hummingbird-uav http://www.kurzweilai.net/nano-hummingbird-uav
