Festo SmartInversion -- flying geometrical band with inversion drive
SmartInversion
is a helium-filled flying object that moves through the air by turning
inside-out. This constant, rhythmically pulsating movement is known as
inversion and gives the flight model its name.
Made possible by its lightweight design and the lift provided by helium, the Air_ray "swims"
in a sea of air like a manta ray in water.
