FESTO Smart Inversion

The German company Festo does some amazing things. There new Smart Inversion flying object probably stands what you though you knew about flight on its head (see main video). For a better view of how this works and a report check out Hanover Trade Show presentation and the New Scientist article. Two other links demonstrate where elements of flight may be going: Electric Multicopter and Robotic Birdplane. Last year's Festo SmartBird completes this package of links.
