The best Ornithopter you could buy was called the Flytech Dragonfly, it's well over 10 years old at this point and discontinued. It was by far my favorite toy as a child, and even had plugless charging. It was WAY ahead of its time.
There was a RC bird too, it could fly indoor, circling around the table lamp , with a detachable ribbon to slow it down. My dragonfly got chased and mauled by a group of curious kids. I still miss that thing.

Some years back, "The New Yorker" published a story on ornithopters. One idea was for surveillance; placing ornithopters within a flock of hummingbirds. Many of the ornithopters could already be scaled down to the size of a hummingbird back then, and this was about 7 years ago.
They would have to make the engines and cogs a lot quieter before anyone would mistake it for a bird, but if they manage that it would be almost like the spy fly from the movie Get Smart, it’s cool that that’s actually possible in real life.
Hand size is your set of dimensions for which flapping wings becomes more efficient/effective than propellers . It's about the viscosity and inertia of the air and maybe laminar manipulation.
@@ChaoticNeutralMattI think the wings would have to be too massive, and the power needed also too much to lift human body size up, and been practical. Maybe as sort of cool idea just to test it out, but some other flying system would be more practical for larger objects. Not only the human body weight would already need massive wings, but then everything else that would create enough power to flap the wings would increase the weight even more, and the wing size
@@lalli8152 in order for a human to fly we would have to have a wingspan of about 13 -20 feet, and massively ripped chests. If we were to create a wing system for humans we would need 20 foot wingspan and probably some sort of spring system like that in exo legs to assist in flapping and to keep weight down.
@@azraelarashi6491 Or a powerful motor that flaps the wings very rapidly, like many heavy insects with rather short wings do, such as big moths and beetles. Humming birds also have very short wing spans, but because of how fast they can flap them, they can fly in all directions.
@@HowlingMoonCinemas yes but due to our larger mass they would still need to be bigger in order to create the thrust to lift ratio needed to get us airborne. Also the weight of the motor and and fuel source or battery pack plus the wings would probably break a human spine.
I reckon if you swap out the plastic on the wing, and replace it with ultra thin latex, it will sound heaps quieter, and maybe even fly better. It'll be a little work to get the right thickness, stretch, etc, bi it would be worth it.
Always hated that people started calling all quadcopters "drones." Only the ones with cameras come close, but they need to be autonomous to be a true drone, like with bees. Guess "drone" just easier say and has evolved into a more general meaning.
@stealthslayer13 Yeah, it's gotten so bad that I almost forgot what we called them to begin with. Time moves on, and so do words, but some things, like the enjoyment of playing with an R/C plane or car, will never change.
The issue with these things remains to be the excessive amount of noise they make in use. It really removes from its overall usefulness in spaces that aren’t rural or off the grid.
Had a wind-up model, a cheap 99% plastic children’s toy. No remote steering - just like a paper plane. Just flapping the wings. That was in the 1980s. So this has been done for at least 40 years. So you have the same, just with a bit of remote control …
80s? These have been around since the late 60s, early 70s. My brother-in-law had one (spray painted black) which he would fly down the halls of the dorm at night. Scared the hell out of some of the guys as the 'bat' flew at them.
According to Wikipedia the first ones capable of flight were rubber band powered ones made in the 1870s and one of the first commercially made models was released in 1889.
I bought a similar thing like 10-15 yrs ago, with a remote and some steering, but it wasn’t called a drone.. yeah cheapo toy, took a few flights, back in the box it goes, threw it away, or maybe it’s still in the box
The wing flapping mechanism you showed is NOT how this little one actually works. And not every rc plane qualifies as being a 'drone'. It doesnt know where it is, cant fly autonomously, and diesnt even have a camera or any type of sensors
It’s cooler sometimes but definitely not more agile. Normal drones are incredibly agile and drones like these aren’t as perfected. I don’t think there will ever come a day when ornithopters will be more agile than a drone. They look more like animals and that’s cool, but a wheels beat legs in the same way that propellers beat wings.
Ornithopters are actually pretty old designs, it's just for the longest time material science couldn't produce struts and wings that could handle the stress and constant warping.
To be fair, the term "drone" comes from the male honeybee, also called drones. After which many hive-based insect species have been casually referred to as drones. So calling an insect shaped flying machine a "drone" is totally reasonable and has nothing to do with our awkward looking propeller based fly boxes, which are also named after the drone bee.
