An aeroplane that uses flapping wings, simulating birdflight. My original design had the wings placed behind the cookpit, but I tried the wings in front of the pilot and preferred that. The idea is the plane would take off from it's landing platform or "perch" fly up into some thermals and glide around.



Enlarge image 		   The barrels either side of the pilot are radomes (or something..)



Enlarge image 		   Plan view. I like the split down each wing.



Enlarge image 		   Pilot access. "Contact!"



Enlarge image 		   Cruising mode.



Enlarge image 		   Cool angle.



Enlarge image 		   Accelerating mode.



Enlarge image 		   Diving mode. The wing click-hinges are set one notch up.



Enlarge image 		   Reminds me of those cliff divers in Spain(?) when the leap off the edge and extend their arms out and up in the dive.



Enlarge image 		   Gliding mode.



Enlarge image 		   Landed safely again.
