A recent interesting ornithopter:

Imagine the ability to soar on thermals for hours, it would greatly change reconnaissance and loitering strike drones. A flock of strike eagle drones all turning towards your convoy's position would be a terrifying thing to see. I don't know how you'd be able to attack such a flock effectively if they scatter when sensing and incoming missile or shell. Perhaps an air battle of the future will look like 2 flocks of birds crashing into each other?
I wonder if a hummingbird drone would be more energy efficient than a quadcopter?
