RC Ornithopter Concept

Matt is a fan of both aviation and historical engineering, so he has decided to bring those two worlds together in an attempt to recreate one of the most elusive designs in aeronautics: the ornithopter. The ornithopter is a flapping-wing flying machine that is fairly easy to build small models of, but--like most novel aircraft designs--becomes exponentially more unwieldy at larger scales. Granted, RC ornithopters DO exist, but they're very small and do not mimic the form of a human-carrying fuselage. Will Matt succeed at creating a larger-scaled ornithopter and revolutionize powered flight? Or will he return to his bench and the idiomatic drawing board? Either way, it's going to be an interesting ride!
