Some of your may remember the Zephyr, a solar-powered UAV can assume that the power of the sun. Some researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are on a plan that can work in a very unconventional method of load.

It would be a small plane, and do not perhaps one passenger. This autonomous gliders have the opportunity to land a wire, like a bird. Not only was he on the electrical and son to use the power to draw the batteries of the aircraft responsible.

Somehow I do not think it will work for ships jumbo jets. However, you have to admire how scientists are fighting today, something to be done by nature.
It appears that the glider pilots have some sort of wings like a bird in order to cool these landings.

The researchers hope that their technology could research teams and rescue UAV help as it could land on a branch of a tree.

I do not know how to have the aircraft with wings real work, especially with the great land we now. A 747 with wing-beat sounds like the Flintstones technology. I think they used to do for air travel by flying on giant pterodactyls.
