Black Hornet is a video-camera equipped helicopter not more than 100mm long, weighing less than 20g, and can be carried in your pocket and launched within seconds to give immediate situational awareness…
Developed by Norway based Prox Dynamics, the spy-copter aims to become the world’s smallest and most capable Unmanned Aircraft System for close range surveillance and inspection.
And if the Black Hornet fails to live up to its expectation, the company can choose to reinvent the copter into an expensive toy instead… bet that it’s going to become a global hit.

not good if the invention falls into the wrong people.
If that little sucker were to fly past my head, I’d think it was a wasp or dragonfly or something. I’d probably swat it before I knew what it really was, lol.
This reminds me of those mini-RC Helicopters that people buy at Radioshack, but this have better steering, and battery life.
It needs a shell to protect the electronics, and motors. It also make it look more professional instead of something made by some guy in his garage.
