Demon UAV flies sans flaps

The Demon UAV will boast a first – we’re looking at an aircraft that flies without any flaps, where it will “control its elevation using jets of air; the plane works by manipulating the air that flows immediately next to its skin, rather than changing its shape.” The jets of air which are close to the trailing edge of the wing will change whether the air moves away from or towards the wing, while sensors located along the wing will monitor the airflow at all times, adjusting the direction of the jets of air appropriately so that you will be able to go to where you desire and not leave things to chance.
