Ornithopter is a word that was stuck in my head for years when I was in school. Now it's back, thanks for that.
Birds aren't real has a whole new meaning
We're going to Arrakis with this one 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thats kinda terrifying. Even the sound is like... nope, where's the tennis racket
DragonFlies must be laughing at humans trying to figure out how they actually move in the air.
I wonder what would be the reaction of The Wright Brothers after seeing a perfectly working design of their previously failed ones
The best Ornithopter you could buy was called the Flytech Dragonfly, it's well over 10 years old at this point and discontinued. It was by far my favorite toy as a child, and even had plugless charging. It was WAY ahead of its time.
Bro imagine being in a dimly lit room and seeing that flying towards you
A wise bird once said: "TATAKAE, just tatakae forward"
I'm ready for a long range, FPV version.
"More agile than regular drones" I think NOT!
Some years back, "The New Yorker" published a story on ornithopters. One idea was for surveillance; placing ornithopters within a flock of hummingbirds. Many of the ornithopters could already be scaled down to the size of a hummingbird back then, and this was about 7 years ago.
"My name is Paul Atreides duke of arrakis and I am the Lisan al Gaib"
An “intricate” set of cogs BRO THERES THREE COGS
I had an automated one as a kid. It was basically laser duck hunting and it was pretty cool.
*House Atreides has joined the chat*
Dragonflies: look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our power
My god, the birds really are drones
