<p>A California company says it has demonstrated controlled precision hovering and fast-forward flight by a camera-equipped micro aircraft that flies like a hummingbird.</p>
<p>Monrovia-based AeroVironment released a video of the remotely controlled Nano Hummingbird it developed for the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency.</p>
<p>The artificial hummingbird uses only its two flapping wings for propulsion and control. For the video, an operator flew it outdoors and then through a doorway into a building.</p>
<p>The prototype has a wingspan of 6.5 inches (16.5cms), weighs two-thirds of an ounce and has a body shaped like a real hummingbird.</p>
<p>AeroVironment was founded by the late Paul MacCready, designer of the pioneering human-powered flying machines Gossamer Condor and Gossamer Albatross. </p>
<p>The company also makes unmanned military aircraft systems.</p>
