Thank CTOnews.com netizens Rimi Ishihara for the delivery of the clue to happiness! CTOnews.com news on October 8, CTOnews.com learned from official account of Northwestern Polytechnic University that at 08:54:12 on September 22, 2023, in Changan Campus of Northwestern Polytechnic University in the foothills of Qinling Mountains, under the witness of the staff of national certification agencies, the flight duration of the "homing pigeon" bionic aircraft developed by the bionic aircraft research team of Northwestern Polytechnic University reached 3 hours, 5 minutes and 30 seconds. It broke the Guinness world record for a flapping wing drone with a single charge flight time of 2 hours, 34 minutes and 38 seconds set by the cloud owl bionic aircraft developed by the team.

It is understood that compared with the "Cloud Owl" bionic aircraft, which created the Guinness World record for single charging flight time of the flapping wing UAV on November 15, 2022, the carrier pigeon has a smaller fuselage and a wingspan of less than half that of the "Cloud Owl". The weight is about 1/4 of that of the cloud owl, which is a technological leap of the bionic aircraft.

Liu Liu, a doctoral student in the class of 2021 of the homing pigeon drone (black painted version 2023), said that because the homing pigeon is so realistic, it often attracts real birds to fly with it during test flights.

The bionic flapping aircraft imitates the flight mode of flapping wings of creatures such as birds. Because of its light weight, small size and weak noise, it has bionics, concealment and portability. Generally, it is hand-throwing take-off and gliding landing, and the take-off and landing is not restricted by the site. It can be used in many fields, such as covert reconnaissance in local complex environment, emergency rescue information acquisition and field biological research.
