    New Type Ornithopter - S1 Robotic Bird Flies!

    Published on Jun 11, 2014

    An "ornithopter" is a device that imitates the flapping-wing flight of birds. Ornithopters were flown successfully in the 1870s. However, most ornithopters to date used a simple crank mechanism for flapping the wings. This doesn't allow much control over how the wings move. The new system of the S1 Robotic Bird mimics the nervous system and muscles of a real bird, allowing total control over the wing movements. The wings move indepently for steering, and they can go to a level position for gliding whenever desired.

    Gryphon ornithopter kit - how to build

    Published on Jul 23, 2016

    The Gryphon is a unique mechanical bird that you build yourself from a kit. The Gryphon flies entirely by flapping wings. Based on the original design by Nathan Chronister, it's easy to build, and unlike some poorly-made imitations, the Gryphon actually does fly.
