"Pigeons" flutter in the air, sometimes hover, sometimes glide with the wind. With a endurance of 3 hours, 5 minutes and 30 seconds, it sets a Guinness World Record for the flight time of a single charge of a flapping wing drone.

Bionic flapping wing aircraft is a flight method that imitates birds and other creatures flapping their wings, because of its light weight, small size, weak noise and other characteristics, with bionics, concealment and portability, generally for hand throwing takeoff, gliding landing, takeoff and landing are not limited by the site, can be applied to local complex environment covert reconnaissance, emergency rescue information acquisition and field biological scientific expeditions and other fields.
