Flying instrument that shakes the wings

Most aircraft have rigid wings. If they were able to shake the wings, they could keep the flight at lower speeds and facilitate maneuvers. The University of Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris have designed a prototype of aerial vehicle that flies in this way. Although it is a prototype, researchers aim to refine the design. It is considered especially suitable for non-conductive aerial vehicles.
