Short summary
This study explores a new way to power small flying vehicles by using their wing movements to generate electricity. By combining a special energy-harvesting material with flexible wings made from silk protein, the design produces steady power and reduces reliance on batteries. Tests showed improved energy efficiency and stability. This approach could lead to lighter, more sustainable aircraft for future use.
