RoboSwift Takes to the Air
The common swift is known for its exceptional flying capabilities. It has been discovered that the swift flies more than three million kilometers in its lifetime. This almost constant and seemingly effortless flight is produced by the swift being able to change the form of its wings. As it is able to move its wings back and forth according to flight conditions, the swift ends up being able to ride the wind and produce staggering maneuverability and efficiency in the air. It was this magnificent little bird that sparked the invention of RoboSwift.
