    Texas Tech Paleontologist Sankar Chatterjee poses with a model of the Tapejara petrodactyl at the Texas Tech Museum in Lubbock, Texas, July 25, 2008. Chatterjee and a University of Florida aeronautical engineer have designed a military drone after the Brazilian pterodactyl. The flying dinosaur, about the size of a Canada goose, had a large, thin rudder-like sail on its head that functioned as a sensory organ. Using a similar sensory rudder, the 30-inch drone will hopefully be able to fly over combat zones and collect information to send to military commanders. (AP Photo/Artie Ummer)LiveScience.com – Pterodactyls may have gone extinct millions of years ago, but a newly designed spy plane could bring the flying reptiles to life, albeit replacing blood and guts with carbon fiber and batteries.
