Lockheed Martin has been awarded a DARPA contract to develop a Nano Air
Vehicle (NAV) that is similar in size and shape to a maple seed. It is to
be remotely controllable, powered by chemical rocket and carry a sensor
payload.

equations will make for larger and larger machines.

Thanks for the link
