Description
A crow-shaped biomimetic ornithopter UAV that generates lift and thrust through wing flapping rather than rotary propulsion. Features a one-meter wingspan, 50-100 gram payload capacity, hour-class flight time, and near-silent acoustic signature designed to blend into counter-UAS detection noise. Currently at TRL 4-5 with a flying prototype.
