Ornithopters!


Recommended Posts

Construct an ornithopter capable of sustained flight.

 

Rules:

  • No lifting surfaces can make a full rotation on any axis.
  • No engines (engine thrust) allowed.
  • Breaking Ground is probably really helpful but pure stock is allowed as well.
  • Mod submissions (if any) will get their own category
  • File-edited or overclocked submissions (if any) will get their own category
  • No Alt+F12

Submissions:

  • No submissions

 

I haven't actually created a working ornithopter but I've been trying.  If I get a working prototype I'll post it here.

That is going to be tough.  Yes, you can get propulsion with batteries, and you could probably create a ramp and such.  But sustained flight with no engines?

The idea is that you'll use BG robotics parts.  Fuel cells, solar panels, or RTG's should ideally be good for power generation for sustained flight.
