Looks like a lot od wasted energy!
I’ll stick with gas or JetA and nothing short of 200k!
Very impressive simulation of bird flight dynamics. What I wanted to see, and was disappointed in not seeing, was the landing. If a mechanical bird could alight the way an actual flesh-and-blood bird does, it might very readily amount to something. What a great way to travel from the house to a destination less than, say, 15 miles away! "As the crow flies."Ill stick with gas or JetA and nothing short of 200k!
You gotta admit, this mechanism wouldn't necessarily make noise in flight . . .
