it's a standard propeller flier in a spherical cage, but that counterbalance system is amazing.
i wonder if the shape really does help the flight activity / skills (it must, surely)... either way, floating spheres are naturally badass.

I believe us gov already has flying saucers people mistake for alien ufo's while their flight testing them... They're just waiting for WW3 to kick off before unveiling them suckers. Trust. They had blackbirds and stealth bombers in the 60s but didnt publicly admit it until the 80s... This flying ball is amazing but believe me the gov is waaaay past this technology...

I think they even had the blackbirds in the 40's during WW2 and those mofucas were flying on the outer limits of our atmosphere spying, pretty mad considering the tech at the time.
EDIT* Just checked, Yeah 60's haha. Dunno where I heard it was the 40's but that would be rather special

build a ball around it (to -obviously- protect it -> which the microdrone doesn't need because it's german and german is better) and you have the same thing
