New Flying Dinosaur Drone to Resemble Pterodactyl
Oct 8, 2008 · Pterodactyls may have gone extinct millions of years ago, but a newly designed spy plane could bring the flying reptiles to life, albeit replacing blood and guts with carbon fiber and batteries.
Pterodactyl-Shaped Spy Plane May Soon Take to the Skies
Oct 9, 2008 · Engineers have designed a robotic spy plane that is modeled on the pterodactyls that swooped through the sky between 228 million to 65 million years ago, while dinosaurs tromped over the land below.
New Flying Dinosaur Drone to Resemble Pterodactyl
Chatterjee and a University of Florida aeronautical engineer have designed a military drone after the Brazilian pterodactyl. The flying dinosaur, about the size of a Canada goose, had a large, thin rudder-like sail on its head that functioned as a sensory organ.
