SmartBird is an ultralight but powerful flight model with excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds - one of the oldest dreams of humankind.
This bionic technology-bearer, which is inspired by the herring gull, can start, fly and land autonomously -- with no additional drive mechanism. Its wings not only beat up and down, but also twist at specific angles. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in combination with a complex control system attains an unprecedented level of efficiency in flight operation. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating an energy-efficient technical adaptation of this model from nature.

αλλά όλοι το λένε Σκάροι. Υπάρχει ένας μικρός χωματόδρομος στην Νικιανα που οδηγεί στην απογείωση. Η κατάσταση του δρόμου δεν είναι και καλή..δηλαδή δεν θα πήγαινα με Seat Ibiza. Εμείς πήγαμε με VW T3 χωρίς προβλήματα. Απογείωση είναι στα 650 μετρά υψομετρική διαφορά, με νότιο ανατολικό προσανατολισμό. Είναι πολύ καλή πρωινή πτήση με καλά θερμικά . Το που θα προσγειωθούμε το κανονίζουμε στο pre flight briefing, όπου βλέπουμε μαζι που είναι η προσγείωση και γενικά κοιτάμε τη πρέπει να προσέχουμε.
