This bio-inspired drone is as comfortable in the water as it is in the air 💦
The amphibious system was built by researchers from the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zürich, who set out to create a dynamically transitioning aerial-aquatic UAV.
The system has an optimized propulsion system and actuation concepts for both water and air. The folding wing concept provides a reduced cross-sectional area for the dive-in phase and a shift of the center of lift/buoyancy for ideal trim in all operation modes.
With a wingspan of 2.1 m and a take-off weight of 3.1 kg the system is large enough to carry small payloads and withstand wind, waves and weather to a certain point and small enough to be easily transported and hand-launched.

Can‘t wait for all the civil non war-related contexts in which this will be used
That looks awesome!
Anyone know who the manufacturer or developers are?
