Expanse of wings, only 6.5 inches, or about 18 cm and weighs just 19 grams or lighter than a standard AA battery. Light as it had with the machine motor, communication systems, and video cameras.

Research making the robot spent five years since 2006 and a fund of 4 million U.S. dollars. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is a defense research agency owned by the U.S. Defense Department, towing and AeroVironment Inc. Monrovia.
