It's so small and stealthy that it is hard to see and avoid radar.
The drone, made by China's National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), is controlled by a smartphone.
It is designed to gather information and perform special missions.
Other countries, such as Norway, are also developing small drones for use in the military.
This technology also has potential applications in medicine.
