Maple seed drone invented

Scientists from China presented their new interesting project — an unmanned aerial vehicle, the design of

which is based on maple seeds.

The final compact drone boastsa relatively long time spent in the air, as well as overcoming a significant distance from the tree. It is noted that the new drone is able to fly almost twice as long as analogues with a traditional four-rotor design.

The weight of the device is only 35 grams. At the same time, the speed of its rotation around its axis is 200 revolutions per minute.

One of the main discoveries of scientists is thatthe design of the drone allows it to do without a stabilizing microprocessor. However, the device, as it turned out, is capable of carrying a payload. Including a small camera.
