Aerovironment Nano Hummingbird UAV
A new technology emerging is essentially a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle but in Hummingbird form. Unlike Normal spy planes, This one has tiny paper wings used to control flight that beat 20-40 times per second. It also has a lightweight camera and microphone built inside. This kind of flying will allow the Hummingbird to maneuver in an out of small places like windows and other openings. The maneuverability of the Hummingbird is a huge advantage to the U.S. armed forces. It will be essential on missions where you need a camera and microphone in buildings and other inaccesible places.
Do you think UAV's will get any smaller in the future?

what if there aren't any humming birds anywhere near the building?
I think it's amazing that they were able to make a UAV that is able to be so small. An invention like this will definatly revolutionize warfare and intelligence.
You could send secret messages, like the old fashioned carrier pigeons.
I just saw an article about this in Time magazine. Here's the link, but you have to be a member to view it (stupid internet)
