The drone is very similar to a living bird; it can hover in the air and sneak up absolutely silently.
The Evolution Eagle drone may well be of interest to scouts because it looks like a real eagle. The remote-controlled UAV is produced by the Dutch company Guard From Upper, Newatlas reports.
Previously, Guard From Upper trained real birds of prey to intercept hostile drones. And now they have created their “analogue”. The Evolution Eagle drone is the same size, shape and color as a real eagle. It is driven by two propellers located at the front of the wings and controlled by flaps located along the rear of the wings and tail.
Unlike some other bird-simulating drones, this model’s wings remain stationary. If the drone flapped its wings, it would look even more like an eagle, but such a design is quite complex and the battery would drain faster.

The Evolution Eagle drone can soar on rising currents of warm air, like a real eagle. This not only saves battery power, but also allows the operator to temporarily turn off the motors to eliminate propeller noise.
The drone is controlled remotely in real time using an onboard FPV (first person view) camera. The payload bay at the rear can accommodate other equipment such as a thermal imaging camera, mapping camera or counter-drone system.
When not in use, the Evolution Eagle is disassembled and stored in a case. It is reported that the device can be assembled in just 3 minutes and then started manually.
We previously wrote about how the most secret stealth drone in the world works and what it can do. The 5GAT UAV is designed to imitate the Chinese J-20 fighter and the Russian Su-57. The US military will use him as a target.
