Shape-shifting drone wings inspired by bats [feedly]

We've already seen more than one micro air vehicle (MAV) that mimics the flapping-wing flight of bats. Scientists at the University of Southampton, however, recently announced something a little more subtle, but perhaps with wider applications. They've developed a bat-inspired membrane for use in MAV wings, that changes shape in order to improve its performance.
