UAV That Uses No Wing Flaps

Britain’s new DEMON unmanned aerial drone doesn’t need wing elevators or ailerons to fly:
It is instead maneuvered by hundreds of tiny jets that blast air in order to influence to change the lift, drag and other features of performance.
The result is a more streamlined, aerodynamic craft that cuts down on edges and gaps – features that can increase radar detection.
The end result is an aircraft with fewer moving parts in need of maintenance and a reduced radar signature.
