Robot Peregrine Falcon

Bird flight has always intrigued mankind. Great deal of that interest arose from the desire to fly like birds ourselves.

I designed an artificial bird , a fully scaled peregrine falcon with profiled wings, actively utilizing aerodynamic principles just as Nature does and still flies at 20 knots!

Bird flight observation creates strong impressions of the huge diversity in flying techniques. The beauty, the variety and fascination of bird flight attracted my attention long ago and by designing flapping wing models I wanted to understand a bit more about bird flight.

Aerodynamic interpretation of a bird wing is extremely intricate, not only for its complexity including the differentiation in arm and hand part, but also because of the exceptional dynamic shape which changes dramatically in the course of a stroke cycle. Pattern and profile of my falcon are so natural that it scares away seagulls and crows during flight, and clearly both humans and animals cannot perceive the difference.

When the peregrine falcon is hunting, it starts with soaring and flapping in circles high up in the air, crows and gulls think she awaits a chance to stoop down on one of them as her prey at tremendous speed..

This patended Robot Bird of prey "Robird" breaks the barrier from bird scare to intelligent control with high reliability, unparalleled effectiveness and interesting possibilities for prevention and insurance policy control.

Robird is a technological breakthrough which uses the inborn instinct of birds to achieve an unique efficacy and precision in bird deterrence.

As a professional falconer I can tell you that if a bird of prey does not flap, she does not hunt. That's why "a look a like bird-shaped rc model plane" with fixed wings cannot do this job.

With Robird controlled bird deterrence you can:

1. Engineer the direct and reliable vectoring of single birds or entire colonies.

2. Effectively deter birds day after day without the risk of habituation.

3.Avoid bird groups splitting up: essential for secondary safety.

4. Experience an unequaled span of effect, both in terms of action radius and size of colonies.

5. Build up a preventive shield by skillfully simulating a raptor territory.

6. Efficiently deter almost all known bird species (except other raptors).

7. Last but not least, deter birds while causing minimum distress in the animals, pacifying even the staunchest environmental activist.
