Flapping Solar Aircraft,The Bird Plane62

NASA and Ohio Aerospace Institute build a special plane that mimics a bird.
Due to recent advances in polymers, photovoltaics, and batteries, the development of a revolutionary type of unmanned aircraft may now be feasible.
All these advances has made it possible a solar bird plane, that mimics a bird and extracts energy from the sun and stores it in a battery and uses them to fly with no moving parts. That is what the video demonstrates, how NASA is working with Ohio Aerospace Institute and making this bird plane possible.
