Tail-less flappingwing experiments (with captions)

This is a digest movie of the tail-less flappingwing experiments conducted on July 18th, 2009 in Osaka, Japan. Test results were very successful and quite impressive. Tail-less configurations work well. Further developments are planned now. Stay tuned!

Imagine strapping a giant, ultralight version to your back. The controls would be really intuitive, there'd be some sort of hand control that interprets easy, natural movements. You could flap for momentum, then glide as far as you want. The wings would be huge to carry you.

And when you're done... glide gently to the ground.
