Swiss Scientists have created the worlds first edible drone! They're drones where the wings are created with rice cakes. The created these in case of an emergency where people are stranded in hard to reach places, they can fly the drones to the stranded people and they'll have something to eat to keep them nourished while people try to rescue them!

The drone isn't your typical 4 helicopter blade drone. It's like a model plane, with a fuselage, tail, and propeller, strapped between two wings that are made of rice cakes! The rice cakes make it light weight, but still provide nourishment.  And if you're wondering, it's only 300 calories per drone!
