Dune

And Chat-GPTr invented it.

先人達の失敗から学べない人達。

Wow. Very rare VW Doka. And some kooky airplane too.

They actually built a lot of these back in the day none of them worked any better.

It’s flying despite the wing movement, not because of it. 😂

I must not fear, fear is the mind killer. -that terrified pilot

этот самолет так быстро едет и имеет такие длинные крылья что ему необязательно было ими махать чтобы взлететь.

Takeoff was sadly impeded by the size of the pilot's balls.

Это "вопреки" или "благодаря"?

Or, imagine a dogfight with ten of these after each other.

They put all the money in development of the ornithopter. Nothing left for a good camera to document the first flight.

is this real?

How is finished?

La puissance des oiseaux en proportion capable de porter 1kg de poissons arrachés de l’eau …on a besoins de + muscles

You know that old adage 'if it looks good it flies good' Well... yeah.

Good effort, well done.

I think they're cool.

17 years ago there was no internet

Чип, чип и Дэйл спешат на помощь

Huge earnest effort. Poor outcome. These folks sometimes change the world. Grateful to them.

Bad piggies:

Yeah, when you can mount that on your back, let me know.

Se imitar a natureza fosse algo correto, os carros teriam quatro patas.

The wings would have lifted it just fine without the flapping.

BIRDS WATCHING : keep flapping those wings , maybe one day ( chuckle ) you'll fly 😂😂😂 HAW! HAW ! HAW !!

Закрепи нормально крыло и спокойно летай

The wings need check valves to block air going down and open going up

For some reason, it gives me the chills. Seeing something that isn't supposed to move like that (planes are usually rigid, that's why they are fixed wing aircraft), move like it was a living being is just uncanny and eerie. Good engineering tho!

Crosswind and you're done.

Time travel must be true as we've gone back to the late 1800s

It's literally just pushing air up and down with no actual net lift lmao

Gotta love fixed wing birds.

Those flappers were keeping from gaining altitude! Even the Wright bros would have said...wtf!

if it had two sets of wings in a counter motion i reckon there would be better stability

It looks like CGI

Curioso esse avião pterodatilo, nunca tinha visto falarem dele, com certeza se nota que não daria certo, talves um projeto mais leve e para uma pessoa apenas, apenas para vôos curtos!

Just you wait until the technology matures!

Yeah, me too. If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it either.

I hate to be a spoilsport....While this contraption did fly, this was not due to lift induced by the flapping "wings". All lift was induced by the fixed lower wing. Sorry....But that's how it is.

dune is real

Why ?

Getting seasick on an airplane is a first.

UM...they're called Propellors, m'Kay?? Wilbur and Orville invented them, along with the Bi-Wing Glider configuration. They were State-of-the-Art, back in 1903. We ALL know that aluminum monoplanes, more powerful engines, and, eventually, Turbojets came to dominate the Industry. If God meant for us to have Ornithopters, he would have given us Wings.

Why?

They spent so much money on the plane, they had to go to the thrift store for a camera

Oh my God! It flew! Until I saw it off the ground, I was thinking all we needed was for it to be filmed in black and white, to be chased by Model T's, And to be accompanied by some zany piano music

I wouldn't consider that flight. The vehicle never got out of ground-effects height. You don't have true flight if you are compressing the air between the wings and the ground/water.
