The French engineer René Riout devoted himself for three decades to the realization of flapping wing ornithopters. In 1905 he invented his first models. In 1909 he won the gold medal in the Lépine competition for a reduced model. In 1913 he worked on the development of a model ordered by a pilot, the Dubois-Riout. The tests were stopped in 1916.
From the last years of the 15th century onwards, Leonardo wrote about and sketched many designs for flying machines and mechanisms, including ornithopters, fixed-wing gliders, rotorcraft and parachutes. His early designs were man-powered types including rotorcraft and ornithopters (improving on Bacon's proposal by adding a stabilizing tail). [26]
In 1991, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) awarded a “Diplôme d’Honneur” for the first remotely operated engine-powered ornithopter, which was developed by Professor James DeLaurier and UTIAS. [6] In 2006, the UTIAS Ornithopter No.1 flew. It required the assistance of a jet engine to take off, and its flapping wings ...
The following year he produced a rubber-driven ornithopter. Both the helicopter and the ornithopter enjoyed some success as toys. Both the helicopter and the ornithopter enjoyed some success as toys. In 1873 he started collaborating with an engineer named Paul Gauchot, and produced two designs for full-sized aircraft, the first in 1874 and the ...
Ornithopter: Alan Stewart: Several unsuccessful human-powered ornithopters built between 1959 and 1979. Stork A Japan: 1976: Junji Ishii / Nihon University: 651 yards. Re-designed (smaller) from the UK Jupiter. [11] Stork B Japan: 1977: Junji Ishii / Nihon University: 2094 m, 4 min 28 s flight. [11] SUMPAC: UK: 1961

From the last years of the 15th century until 1505, [27] Leonardo wrote about and sketched many designs for flying machines and mechanisms, including ornithopters, fixed-wing gliders, rotorcraft (perhaps inspired by whirligig toys), parachutes (in the form of a wooden-framed pyramidal tent) and a wind speed gauge.

Carl Friedrich Meerwein (2 August 1737 – 6 December 1810) was a German civil engineer and aviation pioneer.. Meerwein was born in Leiselheim. He built flying devices with moving wings.
