Fly like a bird! Amazing engineering, beautiful project

[devo]

Before the Wright Brothers built & flew a fixed wing plane, other inventors tried to emulate the wings of birds in the pursuit for flight. It took until 2011 to build a plane that flies like a bird (at least a model). Smart Germans. Check it out!

very cool... what next... mechanical men?

Wow that is so cool. The difficulties of that are so massive to get the motion for flight correct.

That was amazing. The physics to do that must be amazing
