The Dragonfly has been incorrectly billed as the world's first commercially available RC ornithopter (flapping wing aircraft). [citation needed] It was actually preceded by several other products, including Hobbytechnik's Skybird, Park Hawk, and Slow Hawk radio controlled ornithopters, and the Cybird radio-controlled ornithopter from Neuros.
An ornithopter (from Greek ornis, ornith-'bird' and pteron 'wing') is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Designers sought to imitate the flapping-wing ...
The Earth-bound entomopter has a 15 to 18 cm wing span. A twin set of wings situated fore and aft of the RCM provide balanced resonant flapping to create not only lift and thrust, but full vehicle control. Wing flapping occurs a 35 Hz constant rate. This biologically inspired aerial robot is classified as a micro air vehicle (MAV) because of ...

The DelFly project started in 2005 as a Design Synthesis Exercise for a group of Bachelor of Science students at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the TU Delft.The flapping wing design was mentored by Wageningen University, [3] the remote control and micro camera integration by Ruijsink Dynamic Engineering, and the real-time image processing by the TU Delft.

To do this, I buy expensive clothing they quickly outgrow, I don't make them eat vegetables, and I don't lecture them. I also let them quit extracurriculars they no longer enjoy and stay on their ...
SmartBird is an autonomous ornithopter created by Festo's Bionic Learning Network with an emphasis on better aerodynamics and maneuverability. It is an ornithopter modeled on the herring gull. [1] It has a mass of 450 grams and a wingspan of 1.96 meters. [2] In April 2011 the SmartBird was unveiled at the Hanover Fair.
