The airplane which is most frequently seen now is the one that the main wing does not move and fly with lift, but the airplane of the movie introduced this time is trying to fly by flapping the wing like a bird.

Details are as below.

Currently it seems that it is almost impossible to fly. Will it be possible to realize an airplane that appears in "Laputa in the sky" when this is completed?

You can also see other movies and images on the Project Ornithopter site that is about to complete this ornithopter.
