If used as a transportation, it would be a very jerky plane. Motion-sickness on a cruise? Let's take it to a completely different level.
I just wonder how much in/efficiency a bird model is compared to an actual plane.

Coming soon to the skies over you and me, the next generation of surveillance drone. Smile and wave to Big Brother, after all, it's for our own good, isn't it?
