That was my first thought exactly!


Thank you for that link. Made me laugh out loud!


Seems like biomimicry had lots of interesting solutions like this. I can imagine some future drone designs looking more like a falcon than a geometric 4-rotor quadcopter, especially when trying to solve problems around efficiency and flying over longer distances with better flight paths.


I expected this to be about winged flight, but was delighted that it’s about legged quadrotors!
