AeroVironment video of flight tests of its Nano Hummingbird flapping-wing nano air vehicle, developed for DARPA.
Battery-powered and remote-controlled, the hummingbird-like prototype uses flapping wings for propulsion and control. Carring a video camera and downlink, the prototype has a wingspan of 16cm (9.5in) and weighs just 19 grams (0.66oz).
It can hover for 8 minutes, remaining stable in gusts up to 5mph, and reach up to 11mph in forward flight.

Yay, I am so glad that the military has developed microscopic flying drone technology! Nothing bad could ever come of that!
The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.
