Ornithopter with flexible fuselage

   
   

An ornithopter has the capability of slow speed flight as a result of vertical movement of its wings. Two sets of wings are provided with vertical movement of each set of wings 180 degrees out of phase for counterbalancing vertical forces on the fuselage. The direction of the flight path is changed by deflecting the fuselage.

Un ornithopter a les possibilités du vol de vitesse réduite en raison du mouvement vertical de ses ailes. Deux ensembles d'ailes sont équipés de mouvement vertical de chaque ensemble d'ailes 180 degrés hors de la phase pour équilibrer les forces verticales sur le fuselage. La direction du chemin de vol est changée en guidant le fuselage.
