Flying snakes

The Paradise Tree Snake (chrysopelea paradisi) can slide over extended distances. It does so to to jump from tree to tree in your native habitat. Jake Socha from Virginia Tech dropped lines of a 15 meter tower to this ability under controlled conditions to test.

World's first flying ornithopter

Canadians have built ornithopter, an airplane, the wing beat goes by. Engineering PhD student at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Todd Reichert has a feat achieved finally human best engineers since the time of Leonardo as Vinci which has withdrawn a machine powered by a human pilot's seat outlines muscles. It was this machine so it fly 19.3 seconds, and the searches cover 145 meters at an average speed of 25.6 km / H.

The ornithopter's name is "Snowbird". It is built from wire, graphite and wood.Your weight is only 94 lb (42 kg) despite having a 105-foot span of Boeing 737 vergleichbar.Pilot powers the flapping wings of pedaling like a cyclist, one of the most efficient ways to energy, the use of the human body.

Canadians Constructed World's First Flying Ornithopter

Canadians have constructed ornithopter, an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Engineering PhD candidate at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies Todd Reichert has finally achieved a feat that has eluded humanity's finest engineers since the time of Leonardo da Vinci who sketched a machine, powered by a human pilot's muscles. He has even piloted this machine making it flying 19.3 seconds, and covering a distance of 145 meters at an average speed of 25.6 kilometers per hour.

The ornithopter’s name is the “Snowbird”. It is constructed mainly from wire, carbon fiber, and wood. Its weight is only 94lb (42 kilograms) despite having a 105-foot wingspan comparable to that of a Boeing 737. Its pilot powers the flapping wings by pedaling like a cyclist, one of the most efficient ways to generate energy using the human body.
