  • Looks more like an uncontrolled hang glider, but Leonardo Da Ser Piero Da Vinci was making stuff centuries before others and a real genius.

    In DaVinci terms, that ornithopter = FAIL. It didn't FLY, it was pulled so that it could GLIDE. That is not the same thing. This is just another modern aerodynamics experiment using high tech materials.

    Otherwise, anyone who can make a hanglider that could flap a little bit could be considered an ornithopter too.

  • A lot better that that fake "ornithopter" version of DaVinci's idea of an airplane done by those students that appeared on the news. It was supposed to lift off by itself flapping like a bird (otherwise, why call it ORNITHOPTER, huh?), not being towed by a car like any other glider. That's CHEATING = FAIL.

    This chute is the real deal, same shape, same purpose, same functionality. Expected success!

    Bravo. DaVinci greets you from heaven.

  • so is it a softer slower landing than the usual parachute?

  • Superbe! Bravo!
