Thanks for watching. My Ornithopter project have been on hold for several years now due to my constant move to a new home ( 3 times in the last 4 years ) ,had to put my project in storage boxes.. I recently got back into it but cant do anything during winter season ( too cold in my new tiny garage ) , and yes I will have a less noisy version soon... This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears .
MARCIALTECH your project is amazing, I've never seen anything like this, from a distance it even looks like a real bird in flight, you could make a lot of money from this
Impressive... the only other working version I've seen was from this viral video on FB: facebook.com/3dProductiondesigns/videos/1327465700653390/?t=10 Hoping this goes viral. Great looking build too... looks more natural like.
@@jafinch78 Thanks. The other bird you mention is made by Festo. They have million dollar budget , a dozen engineer and a proper facility and tools to build one. I build mine in a small garage with just a few bucks of dollar to spare to buy materials and using mostly basic hand held tools. ... Working on a new version now.
Same- however, I AM seeing newer and newer inventions, growing along this line of thinking. Once, was an RC "Dragonfly"-type insect .... even had a pilot! Isn't Liberty, Freedom, and Innovation, the very best life has to offer?
@@christiangeiselmann This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears .
I always looked at ornithopters a cool novelty. You are the first to make me take this part of the RC sport more seriously. VERY well done. THAT is AWESOME!!!
Amazing design and flight....love the size and even in the "pigeon glide" it did great, I can imagine how well it will glide once you have a glide lock installed...def wish these were available to buy!
That's the neatest thing I've seen since canned beer (Yes, I was alive before beer was sold in cans). Seriously, great job building that bird and I hope to see it when you can lock the wings in glider mode.
Great video and fantastic project. You are obviously very talented. My cats are certainly convinced - one just jumped from a chair, ran across the room and tried to catch the “bird” on the TV.
Like on another ornithopter video, you should have no problem with this gorgeous bird in getting an airport contract to keep flocks of birds away from the airport. Great job!
MARCIALTECH, this is the coolest flying object I have ever seen. If you can silence the noisy mechanics and put a camera on it, you will have created the ultimate stealth drone. The government and military will pay big bucks for such a device. Before that happens, you should call this the "Operation Squeaky Eagle Project." Congratulations.
This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears . it will also have a flight controller with GPS , 3 axis gyro, camera and telemetry for autonomous flight capability.
Very cool! The pigeons were defiantly scared of that huge hawk looking predator.. lol lol. I used to have a small wind up plastic one when i was a kid.. it flew great till it landed on the road one day.. we all know the end of that story! Lol. Yep i watched as it got crushed by a car driving bye.. lol lol.
Wowzer that's so awesome great job with that ,,,, I'm deaf so I don't hear the noise ,,, but I ain't blind and I do model ,,,, I have never Seen anything else like this before wow you did it your first to mimic bird flight,,,, congrats you deserve it ,,,,, don't stop my friend ,,, if you came up with this ,,,, you got more in ya ,,,, keep up the great work and God bless Y'ALL ☺️
Отличная работа. Стабилый управляемый полет на фоне порывов ветра. Удачно решены вопросы аэродинамики, миханики и правильно подобраны материалы обеспечивающие эластичность и прочность крыльев. Теперь осталось придать вид и механическая птица сможет привлекать к себе внимание не только людей, но и пролетающих мимо хищников.)))
Thanks for your reply: If you could stop the flapping motion In a position with less dihedral you would be able to thermal. Which my bring on another problem, with a bunch of small birds trying to chase it out of area LOL! Keep sharing the development of your very convincing bird of prey. Thanks!
Amazing. I would love to see and hear the 3D gearbox version fly. I have seen several ornithopters fly, some factory-built, but none that fly as well or as realistically as yours. This is a remarkable achievement.
I have to say its one of the better ones I have seen. If you look at the slow mo of a bird flying you will notice that they actually throw their wings forward on the up stroke and pull air backwards on the down stroke, all most like paddling a boat. There are certain limitations of what we can do in this space and I am yet to see a design that is able to do more than the up and down. I would love to work on this project with you when you get back into it and it warms up.
Well done sir, well done. You could put a gps in there and program it to fly a pattern over a farmers field. That would scare the hell out of anything eating his crop.
Excellent! I didn't think ot eas possible to recreate the movement of a birds wing though. As I understand it, they don't simply flap up and down, but go up, grab the air and somehow push it down and backwards. If so, you must have a heck of a lot of linkage inside the wings. Beautiful bird. Realistic too, just need some oil to get rid of the squeek. 😊
This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears .
@@@MARCIALTECH Maybe so, but what an incredibly interesting proyotype! A person could live to be a 100 y/o and never know these things existed. I've been building and flying r/c planes for 40 years now and about the only thing that's changed is the advantage of smaller electronics. The principle of how lift is created over a fixed wing is very simple and easy to achieve, but I'm sure you know that. But that, that thing..! LOL! Wow. The mechanics involved in recreating the movement of a bird's wing just boggles my mind! No wonder it squeeks, I imagine there's a lot of linkage inside it to move those big wings. What surprised me the most was the length of the flight. Given the amount of air resistance a wing must encounter when it flaps, both in the upward and the downward stroke, I would've thought your battery would be depleted a lot sooner. But what do I know, I think I'm just old fashioned. My kids think I'm just old. I'm still playing with toys that were designed in the late 1930's! 😉 (the J-3 Cub happens to be my favorite) Great video! Very impressive, too. You did an excellent job flying it, especially considering how much movement is going on up there! My eyes and brain instictively thought a wing had come off an airplane every time it flapped! 😲
@@@MARCIALTECH Wait a minute, you mean an aluminum gear box is responsible for the wings movement? Then this ornithopter is custom built and designed from scratch, isn't it? And I'll bet you're the person that did it. Huh, maybe my kids are right. I'd never heard of 3D printers until just a few months ago. And you mean you can "print" plastic gears that'll be sturdy enough to withstand the forces required to move such a large wing? You must have hold a degree in Aeronautical Engineering or similar. At first I was under the impression that this was the latest toy you could buy right off the shelf. I apologize for having such a thought. I'm curious then. A large ornithopter like this one requires a relatively slow flap to keep it aloft due to its' large wing area and relatively low weight. Buildng an even larger ornithopter is undoubtedly very attainable, but what about a smaller one? Could a hummingbird's movement be replicated? The speed at which the wings would have to move would consume lots of power. A larger battery would consequently then cause weight to be another deciding factor. I would think that it would be impossible to recreate a hummingbird that could actually hover. And a scale sized butterfly would be out of the question I'm sure. Nano technology isn't that advanced yet, is it? Up until a few hours ago, I didn't think even a large bird could be mimicked. I need to read up on current events a little more often...
@@@MARCIALTECH Watching the video again, I'm still amazed. Once it's all ironed out, painted and finished, you should add a recorder that's controlled remotely and plays a screech whenever you choose! That would freak out other birds and people as well. If you go one step further I'm sure you could find a white gooey substance and fabricate some bomb bay doors near the tail and... well, you get the rest. I think I want one... But I'm sure I couldn't afford one.
@@xMRPx The gearbox put very little amount of stress on the motor and makes the motor more efficient than propeller driven RC plane of similar wingspan. I used a small 1200 mah 4 cell battery on this prototype.
Wow i have been wanting to build one .. its the aerodynamics that look really complicated to me. But as a get go my idea was to build something that flaps slower like this one not crazy fast like some of the smaller ones i have seen as that doesnt look natural at all. at a distance this thing will look exactly like a real life giant bird. Do you have any plans on how you built this any drawings and stuff and the equipment you used for it i would like to use this as a base point and improve upon if i can. Thanks for your efforts and great to see you have built such an amazing machine.
DUDE ! THAT THING IS FREAKIN AWSOME !!!!!! If you ever put together a kit or want to sell a built one , put me down for one, it looks just like the egales that ride the thermals out where i am, i join them with a glider and fpv gear but to join them with something like that would be a mind blowing experience. I want one man , seriously
If you were an eagle, would you mind a thing like that flying around? Do they get used to it, thinking it's just a nice kind of glider? Have fun, you're absolutely right, this looks awsome.
Bonsoir, C'est vraiment super. Et digne de Léonard de Vinci. Avec une caméra embarquée ce doit être intéressant pour l'approche des oiseaux ou autres animaux. 👏😉 S.R
This can be many times efficient with single way wind allow cut in the wings surface ... This is my 15 years old thinking of my childhood. When I see these experiment then I see if that idea has been applied or not ...anyway ..Great work..
Nice. The one thing I wish could be overcome with ornithopters is the noise they make. They all make it, it's just annoying to me for some reason. More so than multiroters.
Thanks, This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears .. A Belt drive gearbox would completely eliminate all the noise coming from the gearbox, i may look into that in the future version.
Thanks, The noise is coming from the prototype open gearbox, the final version will have an enclosed gearbox and additionally muffled with the body casing.
If it had a way to sense its own center of gravity and compensate, a gyroscope for orientation but if it had a way to process its weight difference in between flapping and gliding And the amount of force the wings must exert to keep it in flight once its gliding should be less than take off with the lift from the wings as long as they dont add too much weight.
This bird is very slow compare to a passenger airlines plus doesn't have the ability to carry heavy payload, a firecrackers maybe but not explosives. A quad copter drone can fly faster.
MARCIALTECH Planes don't even start if there's birds close by. You don't want your "bird" sucked into a jet engine, do you? Angry pilot, angry passengers, angry FAA, angry cops looking for you. Good luck, it looks wonderful. I hope for you that YOUR company is going to build and sell it.

I just wanna fly like Superman. Other than that Great Job
Thanks
That is pretty cool! Well done!
Thanks
This is the dopest of the dope. Have you thought about making a mod to muffle the sound of the motor/flapping?
Thanks, yes, this prototype is noisy due to open gearbox, the final design will have an enclosed gearbox .
Superb piece of aeronautical engineering.
Thanks
الله شكد حلو عبالك حقيقي 😍😍😍
Really impressive. If that "plane" was not that noisy, it could be used to take aerial footage where drones are not allowed, hence a National Park...
This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears .
Finally something that actually flies for a change! Now, imagine the mind of the person who invented the real thing mate!
Thanks
Tout à fait admirable, félicitations.
Thanks
Very very nice!!! Good job! May you soar?
Thanks
Wow very Nice 👍 great job 👌🙏
Thanks
fantastic! Superb work!
Thanks!
Is it possible to make it silent? At some moment in the begining I could hear a jet engine sound when it was passing over you! What was that?
Yes, This is only a prototype version with a custom built aluminum open gearbox, it's the aluminum gears in the gearbox that is making that noise . My new 3D printed version has an enclosed gearbox with nylon gears .
That’s awesome is it hard to fly compared to the usual rc plane
Easy to fly , similar to a midsize flying wings foamy airplanes with Elevon mix tail control.
Excelente trabajo, enhorabuena.
Thanks
Awesome looking, but the noisiest ive heard. So this was 2014. What has come of this? Improved and mass produced?
Thanks, i had my project on hold for a few years due to my constantly moving to a new home, just recently started again and will try to have a new version soon with a less noisy gearbox.
Congratulations, it's fantastic job!
Thanks
This is SO cool. I want one. When, how much?
Thanks, i'm working on it.
Hi Fred .. it's me Khaled from RCG ... Could you please tell me if this eagle relies only on tail for directional control ... or you have wing differential mechanism to assist with steering ... Thanks a lot
Tail only for directional control. Using 2 metal gear servo.
can I have one plz? So much impressed after viewing this awesome footage..
