Festo AirJelly

Beautiful!

The AirJelly is, quite simply, a jellyfish that floats through the air. It’s a concept project by Festo, a German manufacturer of motion control and automation systems.

There’s no information in English so far, but from the whitepaper in German I managed to get that it’s 1.35 m (4.43 ft) in diameter and 2.2 m (7.2 ft) high, while weighting a mere 1.3 kg (2.86 lbs). It must be quite a sight.
