Chinese Student Builds a Mosquito-Like Drone

A student from China’s National University of Defense Technology, Liang Hexiang, has unveiled his remarkable invention — a mosquito-shaped microdrone. Its appearance and flight mechanics closely mimic the anatomy of real insects, enabling it to move stealthily and land in unique ways.

The drone’s main advantage is its invisibility. Thanks to this feature, it becomes an indispensable tool for gathering classified information during special operations. The invention is based on a completely new approach: its tiny body houses electronic components such as sensors, communication modules, control circuits, and power sources.

It can fly autonomously, replicating insect-like wing movements and maneuvers. Three ultra-thin legs ensure stable landings on different surfaces. The drone can be controlled remotely — including via smartphone — and transmit data in real time.

Experts emphasize that this technology is expected to be widely used in the near future, both on the battlefield and in civilian missions. The microdrone is anticipated to play an important role in covert surveillance, intelligence gathering, and security operations. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
