Spy bug takes flight…

A US company developing a tiny wing-flapping spy robot under a contract from the Pentagon’s research arm DARPA, has released a video of their prototype in action.

So far the California-based firm AeroVironment have reached a milestone, managing to fit in a power source and control system on their tiny drone, and making it take into the air. “It is capable of climbing and descending vertically, flying sideways left and right, as well as forward and backward, under remote control,” says the company.

The breakthrough, reached sometime in December 2008, won it additional $2.1 million of defense money.
