This aircraft is able to walk with wings

This aircraft is able to walk with wings

BERN - Researchers from Polytech Lausanne in Switzerland, developed the design of unmanned aircraft that is able to fly. Prototype drone (unmanned aircraft) was performed with a configuration that looks simple and has a propeller facing the rear.

The researchers designed the winged aircraft that are not only capable of flying high, but is also able to move or walk on land. When in the air, the plane can fly straight forward and carries the simple configuration with help the propeller.

While current on land, wings function is claimed to be something very special. Researchers revealed that being a problem when the plane has extra heavy structure, thus making the wheel does not work in rough terrain.

Unmanned aircraft (Deployable Air Land Exploration Robot) this is known to have wings that are installed on the shaft that can be locked or rotated. On land, a prototype made in Swiss researchers this is reportedly able to 'walk' using the wings with the ability mileage 0.2 meters per second.

The researcher also explained that on rough surfaces or high obstacle can also be handled by the aircraft. Further development of this plane can be related breakthrough creation unmanned aircraft that is able to launches from the rugged terrain surface.
