Flapping wing drone
Flapping wing drones, also known as ornithopters, mimic the flight of birds by flapping their wings instead of using rotary blades like traditional drones. These type of drones are much safer compared to the quadcopter with high speed propellers. My flapping wing drone weighs less than 50 grams and is capable of about 8 mins of flight time. It is motor driven and can be controlled by a RC transmitter.
