      To be fair, the term "drone" comes from the male honeybee, also called drones. After which many hive-based insect species have been casually referred to as drones. So calling an insect shaped flying machine a "drone" is totally reasonable and has nothing to do with our awkward looking propeller based fly boxes, which are also named after the drone bee.

      It’s cooler sometimes but definitely not more agile. Normal drones are incredibly agile and drones like these aren’t as perfected. I don’t think there will ever come a day when ornithopters will be more agile than a drone. They look more like animals and that’s cool, but a wheels beat legs in the same way that propellers beat wings.

    I had a dragonfly that worked slightly differently than this but was the same principle. It was from like 10 years ago, but it worked using a propeller in the tail to control yaw and the flight was done by two rods that would move up and down like an opening and closing scissor. The wing of the dragonfly trailed behind each of these rods. Both sides moved in sync and it was able to fly pretty well. It doesn’t work brilliantly anymore and I have no idea which drawer I put the controller in, but I’ve just bluetacked it to my wall near the ceiling. It looks really nice.
