The Delfy Micro, a drone that looks like a dragonfly--and is about the same size, completed a successful test flight in Delft, Netherlands last week. It even flaps its wings to fly.
The drone, which was developed through a project at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, weighs in at 3 grams and has a wingspan of 10 centimeters--plus it carries a package, a 0.4 gram camera.
For more information, read Roland Piquepaille's blog.
