    An ornithopter (from Greek ornis, ornith- ‘bird’ and pteron ‘wing’) is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Designers sought to imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, bats, and insects. Though machines may differ in form, they are usually built on the same scale as flying animals. Larger, crewed ornithopters have also been built and some have been successful. Crewed ornithopters are generally powered either by engines or by the pilot.

    These must have been the prototypes of the government’s avian-like surveillance drones.
