The EPFL Laboratory of Intelligent Systems have designed a new drone inspired by the northern goshawk. Researchers and engineers based the design and shape of the drone off the bird’s wings, tail, and flight behavior. Enrico Ajanic, the first author of the research study, has said that “the drone’s design extracts principles from agile avian flight, creating a drone approximating the flight performance of a raptor.”
