Winged Robot Providing Theories about the Origin of Flight

Science Magazine published an article suggesting that a project motivated by the recent DARPA push for small, quiet UAVs may be providing support for theories about the origin of flight in animals. 

 

Besides being an interesting evolutionary and biological theory, it also raises two questions here.

1) Could mini-ArduRover or ArduBoat projects benefit from wings?

2) ArduBird, anyone?
