China is testing a biomimetic drone designed to look and move like a real bird.
Instead of spinning rotors, the wings flap and glide, closely mimicking natural flight.
From the ground, the motion blends in with wildlife, making it difficult to distinguish from an actual bird in the sky.
Footage appears to show the drone being deployed during a coastal exercise, where it can perch, skim the surface, and change direction with subtle movements that resemble real animals.
Designs like this highlight a change in drone development. Rather than being louder or faster, the focus is on blending into the environment and avoiding attention altogether.
Would you notice something like this flying overhead, or would it pass as just another bird?
