natures ability to give flight, has been limited by the level of technology, initially they were large and then it was perceived that increased size leading to greater advantages, especially
where passenger travel was concerned. However, as time has progressed and technology has become more advanced it has shrunk in size and become lighter ideas that twenty years ago were
seen as science fiction are now a reality and science get closer to copying natures in the form of birds and insects with the developments of Micro Air Vehicles. To
consider what these really are and their potential we need to consider their development and technology as well as the capabilities they ma develop. Aeronautical engineers are now working on
the building of very small aircraft called Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), these are small aircraft, not more than 15 centimetres according to the DARPA definition (McMichael and Francis, 1997), which
can be controlled remotely or operate autonomously, are very light and quiet but can still carry miniaturised equipment, such as video cameras or other sensors making them a good tool
that could be used to detect and transmit information for either commercial or military purposes (Jones and Platzer, 2002). The advantages of these is their size and their ability to
be missed or mistaken for an insect or bird, especially in sensitive environments and allowing the owner of the MAV to collect information that would otherwise be very difficult to
obtain in other ways, such as data from a war zone (Jones and Platzer, 2002). The development of these aircraft may be seen as facilitated by the development
of micro-electromechanical systems, also known as MEMs. These are small systems that have the capability of combining micro electrical components with similar sized mechanical parts so as to build different
