AS-2012 Myrmeleon

11.6k ZooxTark  1.9 years ago

Myrmeleon is an ornithopter developed by me.

This is the first time I try to make an ornithopter. Actually, this terrible idea comes from the science fiction movie Dune.

It can VTOL

Use AG2 to enable VTOL mode (this is the only way to take off, however). After reaching the altitude of about 200m, you can change the mode so that it can fly like a normal plane (to successfully take off, you need to try many times until you are used to it).

It uses no fuel

This ornithopter uses no fuel because it uses joystick bases to flap its wings.I don't believe in rotators, because they are not solid.

How to control:

AG1 open the door.
AG2 VTOL mode.
AG8 turn on lights.
Throttle,Pitch,Yaw,Roll are used as a normal plane.

This plane may looks amazing, but the control is probably annoying. If you like it, please give me an upvote. If you find a bug, please contact me.
At last, thank KGCheater for improving the appearance of the plane.

    so, minor issue, the vtol takeoff is nice and smooth, but the moment i try to transfer to forward flight it immediately goes into frontflips that are impossible to control

    Sua aeronave e ótima, gostei muito e bem estável mas ainda assim sugiro a colocação de um estabilizador para ajuste fixo para ajudar no controle de altitude, não tive problemas com os controles são bastante simples e fáceis de usar, ter mais velocidade e um possível melhoramento futuro do projeto seria ótima. Parabéns eu gostei muito
