Brilliantly realistic. Watching the steep glide at the end shows that the model is quite heavy, perhaps that is just to test the wing morphing? If so, then a lighter version will be even better, can slow the frantic flapping down for level flight. Best ornithopter I've seen.

OMG…. That’s AMAZING!!!

I live in Hawaii and I observe large sea birds flying often. It's interesting to see how they fly upwind Without Really flapping their wings very much. I realized it's comparable to sailing upwind. You can sail a boat upwind directly into the wind at about a 45-degree angle into the wind. The birds seem to do the same thing except in a three-dimensional manner. Constantly adjusting their tack left right up down into the wind they can make progress without even flapping their wings. I would like to see someone make a model aircraft that can do this.

The possibilities seem endless!

birds greatest advantage is feathers. feathers allow air to flow down through the wing during the up motion, and in such a way that it creates a high pressure zone around the birds body, allowing it to take off from the ground. i've yet to see an ornithopter with working feathers or with the ability to take off like a bird instead of being thrown. not saying its not possible, just saying we still have lots to figure out.

Stunning. I'm curious what the flight time ratio is between a fixed wing electric propeller model and an ornithopter design? And what the future optimisation of the ornithopter design predicts for that ratio; which I'm guessing is currently in favour of a fixed wing propeller design in terms of efficiency.

The better comparison would be fixed wing plane of similar size. I can believe a drone sucks a lot more power, but it can also hover. This thing, on the other hand, can glide, saving power, which a quadcopter absolutely can't, but a regular plane can. But yeah, if it doesn't already kick a quadcopter's butt for power consumption, it would likely only take a little more engineering.

Excellent work. Seriously. I'm impressed.

For a commerical airliner-type application? Wouldn't really be a priority, the body being constantly in motion would mean hell for anything but the head area, which birds have notoriously stable. And even then, jets provide redundancy (if one goes out you've got spares). There's only two wings, if something goes wrong with one wing you're done. Planes can sometimes make it back with one wing only, what with the propulsion being provided by jets, so there's that too.

Tremendous stuff. The wing beats are indistinguishable from a real falcon. But the tail, though, seems to be an empennage from an aircraft, whereas the tail of a falcon, or indeed any other bird, is highly dynamic and flexible. The way I see it, on an actual bird the wings, tail and indeed legs (to change centre of gravity) all work in unison. Nevertheless this is a laudable effort, really impressive.
