A Chinese university research team has recently set a Guinness record for the longest flight duration of an ornithopter, an unmanned aircraft that flies by flapping its mechanical wings. Ornithopters, which imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, bats and insects, have potential applications in many fields, such as Mars exploration, airport bird repelling and near-space aircraft study.
