Stanford University has developed a plane that can land on and take off of walls vertically!
Latching on with miniature hooks on “claws,” the unmanned vehicle can approach a vertical surface at about 22 mph, and drastically slows as it nears the wall. Its claws are controlled to extend and release when prompted, and it can efficiently work its magic, requiring very little power while it is attached. It’s also unique because there can be on-board cameras and other sensors, making it perfect for surveillance.

Something cool about this technology is that they are building up to being able to recharge the airplane from a power line by simply perching on top of the power line
Pretty cool huh?
