      birds greatest advantage is feathers. feathers allow air to flow down through the wing during the up motion, and in such a way that it creates a high pressure zone around the birds body, allowing it to take off from the ground. i've yet to see an ornithopter with working feathers or with the ability to take off like a bird instead of being thrown.
      not saying its not possible, just saying we still have lots to figure out.

      The better comparison would be fixed wing plane of similar size. I can believe a drone sucks a lot more power, but it can also hover. This thing, on the other hand, can glide, saving power, which a quadcopter absolutely can't, but a regular plane can. But yeah, if it doesn't already kick a quadcopter's butt for power consumption, it would likely only take a little more engineering.

      For a commerical airliner-type application? Wouldn't really be a priority, the body being constantly in motion would mean hell for anything but the head area, which birds have notoriously stable. And even then, jets provide redundancy (if one goes out you've got spares). There's only two wings, if something goes wrong with one wing you're done. Planes can sometimes make it back with one wing only, what with the propulsion being provided by jets, so there's that too.

    Tremendous stuff. The wing beats are indistinguishable from a real falcon. But the tail, though, seems to be an empennage from an aircraft, whereas the tail of a falcon, or indeed any other bird, is highly dynamic and flexible. The way I see it, on an actual bird the wings, tail and indeed legs (to change centre of gravity) all work in unison. Nevertheless this is a laudable effort, really impressive.

    The disconnect in seeing the wing movement but then the central body that is obviously not a bird is real uncanny valley stuff. This looks awesome

    Goll-llie, look at that. Talk about covertly eves-dropping on another country or troop deployments. I wouldn't be surprised if the government tier has been able to do this for more than 20 years. Magnifique!

    I live in Hawaii and I observe large sea birds flying often. It's interesting to see how they fly upwind Without Really flapping their wings very much. I realized it's comparable to sailing upwind. You can sail a boat upwind directly into the wind at about a 45-degree angle into the wind. The birds seem to do the same thing except in a three-dimensional manner. Constantly adjusting their tack left right up down into the wind they can make progress without even flapping their wings. I would like to see someone make a model aircraft that can do this.

      gliders can do that. When you ride a wave (it's called a wave) you are basically on a smooth elevator to the sky. You gently maneuveur in a zig-zag pattern to stay at the right place in the wave. Best feeling ever. Look it up. wave gliding.

      Also known as slope soaring, fairly common for RC gliders and half gliders.

      Even when a bird is stationary in a head wind as gulls often do ,it is effectively gliding against the wind.
      It is analogous to a satellite orbit which is also being a state of free fall without a decrease in altitude

      What they have accomplished in this video is already impressive. What you are asking would be another real challenge.
      It would require, more than a human control, a well trained AI and the right sets of sensors. I would like to see it too though!

    • @bschwand
      @bschwand Год назад +2

      @@Filli-e no need of an AI.
      You use a variometer and airspeed indicator. GPS gives you groundspeed. From that it is easy to determine when you reach a wave, then you match headwind speed tacking into the wind. Autonomous sailboats can do that ( hobbyists have done it) so it's possible for a glider too.

    Good job, indeed looks like the real thing in early flight while accelerating.

    When I first read Dune many years ago, I couldn’t really get past how silly and unrealistic the winged ornithopters seemed. Now it seems this is the future of flight. Wild.

    They should make big passenger planes like this, people will love to be inside a giant mechanical bird and feel like they are truly flying!

      It looks unstable would probably feels like you're on a flying roller coaster, maybe it's good for a new type of amusement park attraction, I don't know.
