Ancora più rivoluzionario il progetto di Lockheed Martin:
http://www.lockheedm...ir-vehicle.html
"While the other NAV program competitors are pursuing flapping wing and rotorcraft-type NAV designs, Lockheed Martin’s entry borrows its mono-copter design from the maple seed... with some novel 21st century adaptations definitely never devised by Mother Nature.
Incredibly, system propulsion (for lift and direction) is courtesy of a tiny, solid two-stage rocket thruster embedded on the blade’s tip, giving the nano vehicle extra range and endurance. While stability and guidance are controlled on-board the air vehicle, top level navigation and other commands are controlled off-board.
Besides controlling lift and pitch, the single winged NAV will also house telemetry, communications, navigation, imaging sensors and the power source. The nano vehicle is designed to carry a payload module –– close to the size of a 2 gram aspirin tablet — which will be interchangeable based on mission requirements, such as chemical and biological detection, infrared surveillance and other purposes."
