Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Actually, it's both. Presenting the robotic SmartBird that looks and flies just like the real thing.

It just had to be a seagull as if there aren't enough of those bastards in organic form.

I wonder if such a design is more efficient than a small robotic plane. What if someone made a big one and filled it with people, would it fly?
Either way, I can totally see this soon replacing those ugly drones the US army uses for small missions. We're nearing the Terminator, people, the Schwarz tried to warn us.

I doubt it. I imagine the weight would scale up in three dimensions while lift would scale up in two.
