U.S. Military Testing Hover Dogs

According to a special report in The Atlantic, a DARPA-funded research project is currently testing hover dogs as a potential means of transportation over rocky terrain.  The research takes advantage of what is called the Zero-G Growl Distortion Field, which allows dogs to hover after being trained to bark at their own anatomical resonance.

“Once a dog achieves resonance match, its fur will oscillate at such a high speed that the air around the dog’s body will bend – then BINGO, hover dog,” researcher Hans Applethorpe explained to The Atlantic. 

If the project makes it out of the lab, dogs will likely be used for fetching things in the field.
