Softpedia - Dinosaur Inspires Modern Air Drone
American scientists entered a very daring enterprise. They want to create a replica of the famous pterodactyl, for use in military applications. The idea is not only to create a viable flying reconnaissance drone, but also to equip it with the ability to walk, to morph its wing shape and to sail the oceans. Furthermore, it is to be outfitted with smell sensors, so it can collect all relevant data to a particular situation or environment.
