“The Snowbird represents the completion of an age-old aeronautical dream,” said Reichert, lead developer and project manager of the Snowbird. “Throughout history, countless men and women have dreamt of flying like a bird under their own power, and hundreds, if not thousands have attempted to achieve it. This represents one of the last of the aviation firsts.”
Neat video. I wonder if they could mimic the wing action of birds and develope an engine that could provide power to the wings if it wouldn’t be more power/cost-effective than driving a propellar?
