A simple ornithopter I built. Start it in air because it cannot take off under its own power. I decided not to make it VR capable because this is just a technology testbed. Good Luck!

Is that a bird? Is that a plane? No it's a plane.... that flaps???
flap flap
Flappy Bird
@BeastHunter probably
@VIPERREDGAMING Considering that this was made 2.4 years ago and yours was made 1.7 years ago, I think it’s a coincidence.
This looks alot like the plane I made 🤨🤨
Good Ornithopter, it shows how they work in a simple fashion.
If a bird and a plane had children
@L3FTxR1GHT Okay. I forgot that, sorry. Thank you!
@BeastHunter Oh, I said that the person to find the most upvoted airplane of all time would get upvotes on all their plane. That person is you.
@L3FTxR1GHT What do you want from me? Are you doing this for no reason?
@BeastHunter i made a ornithopter thats working
@PPLLAANNEE Ok. Thank you!
@BeastHunter the wings angle needs to constantly change as it goes up and down in order to get forward thrust, look at my minecraft phantom to see how it angles the wings as they go up and down
@Novaxomix Thanks!
try rotators with cyclic, as that will allow the aircraft to somewhat propel itself forward, sort of like a stingray....
@PPLLAANNEE lol
@BeastHunter because i fell in the water
@PPLLAANNEE You figured it out! Of course I can’t build a viable ornithopter. But why did you test it in water?
for me it is practically a glider the wing flapping doesn't give it any more speed in air, in water it gives a little bit of speed
@LobsterBisque128 That’s the secret. It doesn’t.
I have puzzled over this and I do not understand how it can fly
@BeastHunter Lol
@Hinox USS Beasts.
Do you hunt beasts?
