Ornithopter: RC Robot Bird: Artificial peregrine falcon

A demonstration of my peregrine falcon on the local model plane club.

This is the only mechanical bird on the world that flaps her wings as real birds do.

About efficiency:
Real birds using strong muscles for the down stroke. During this move the wing produces lift and thrust. They don't have strong muscles for the upstroke so the wing doesn't produce thrust during that move. The wing also bends vertically between hand and arm part during the upstroke as the Robird does it to. ( wing articulation). During the stroke cycle a wing twists by changing the position of the hand. In compare to real birds the Robird powers the wing even during the upstroke. Thrust is still generating! That's why the Robird can fly faster than his natural competitors. The outcome of scientific wind tunnel tests of a fixed Robird wing recently is that this wing produces 41% more lift than any other wing ever made!
