When i read "Bird of Prey" i immediately think of Klingon's lol.
Sometimes I read the synopsis, other times the comments - maybe the article lol..
Plese click the article and see the artist concepts. “Individual feather aka active flight control”
No positive or negative opinion.. but you’ve gotta see that drawing.

What does it eat?
Paint it PURPLE and you'll have a - Flying PURPLE people eater :)
Well, I guess it comes full circle. Many early aviation pioneers started using (or at least attempting) some form of biomimicry, such as wing warping and ornithopter flapping wing design.
I guess the airfoil shape itself began as a form of biomimicry.
