Mother nature is one of the best engineers, which is why us mere mortals are constantly trying to replicate the amazing things we find in nature. In this video, we will look at how the wings of birds, bugs, and bats are being replicated for drones. Although the complexity of these wings is greater than quadcopters, there are some useful benefits to gain!
