- Entomopter is a small aircraft or a micro-aerial vehicle which flies using the ‘wing-flapping’ aerodynamics of an insect. In this paper, an entomopter has been designed for real-life applications to reduce the manual risks involved in military bases and defence sector using a dragonfly as a bio-mimic which fits into the ecosystem. The entomopters are capable enough to kill the target by injecting the serum through the legs/ by destroying military base using explosives. The entomopter used in this paper is a bio-mimic of a dragonfly which comprises a set of injecting legs and a couple of sets of supporting legs. The injecting legs are supported by a miniature storage system to store the serum/poison within the legs. Catia V5 21 has been used to design the entire dragonfly entomopter. Thus, the opponent never knows that a small insect like a dragonfly can be capable enough to kill him with a poison or even destroy the whole military base.
