Title: Festo - SmartBird Animation (English)

Description:
Aerodynamic SmartBird flight model - Bird flight deciphered: http://www.festo.com/smartbird_en---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SmartBird is an ultralight but powerful flight model with excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds - one of the oldest dreams of humankind.This bionic technology-bearer, which is inspired by the herring gull, can start, fly and land autonomously -- with no additional drive mechanism. Its wings not only beat up and down, but also twist at specific angles. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in combination with a complex control system attains an unprecedented level of efficiency in flight operation. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating an energy-efficient technical adaptation of this model from nature.

Mar 24, 2011 - It says in the video that it's autonomous, so yes, it will drive itself.All the coolest robots drive themselves.

Mar 24, 2011 - this is might possibly beat the airpenguin in awesomeness

Mar 25, 2011 - I can't wait for the working model so all of us can utter obscenities and exaggerated self-harm in praise of it.

Mar 25, 2011 - Now that you have the ability to fly one of these birds, maybe take a peek at whalepower to create a more efficient lift. Awesome job!

Mar 28, 2011 - wouldn't that be cool, if they could make it bigger so that people can sit in it?:D ps. I have never played wow, lol:DBut really , it looks just great.

Mar 29, 2011 - wow.. let's see a real one cuz this looks totally bs
czt054 Says:
Mar 30, 2011 - well done, you can tell the difference between an animation and a real video. Now look through the list of videos on the right, see if you can find the real one...

Mar 31, 2011 - Well done but late done German. USA had this technology since 2000, and it was successfully used in 9/11.But, USA has not unveiled it yet.

Apr 1, 2011 - WTF do people always go on about 9/11 don't be such a prick.... Its about modeling how birds fly.
Celeon999A Says:
Apr 1, 2011 - Yep. The USA is definitely well ahead in tinfoil-hat technology aswell. :-D
Sunjammer Says:
Apr 2, 2011 - A *smart* bird?! What ever will they think of next!?Also, I'd love to see this thing actually take off, or, you know, gain altitude.
yfaheem Says:
Apr 2, 2011 - , There is abs nothign wrong with the research on birds, The prob is illegitimate use of the tech and I am against it and the 9/11 drama, whose price the muslilms are paying today. and people lyk you nevr bothr 2 think abt it.
MrSomeGamerdude Says:
Apr 2, 2011 - i like to know is why did i get this on my recommended list with "because you watch iphone durability test" underneath it?
WIN7GT Says:
Jun 3, 2011 - I want these wings big and installable on my back.Maybe I'll even create one.
Macfanize Says:
Jan 14, 2012 - A 2 meter wingspan ?! Wow
kickfox44 Says:
Mar 24, 2011 - will it drive itself or be remote controled antway looks awsome like all of your items
