Wing-flapping drone mimics insect flight

Dutch researchers have built a wing-flapping drone which mimics insect flight – and could teach zoologists more about how real insects’ brains work.

Their invention, named DelFly Nimble, could pave the way for radically different drones.

Weighing just 29 grams and with a 33 centimetre wingspan, its developers say the robot can fly for about five minutes.
