   It’s an ornithopter a la DaVinci, called “Snowbird”. It only took 500 years for someone to actually get one to fly on August 2nd, last.

    This is an aircraft which flies by flapping its wings, like a bird. A student recently demonstrated sustained flight by using his own energy to fly this machine.
