Description Make 4 different types of Ornothopters It imitates the flapping wing flight of birds, insects, and bats The wings work like propellers to generate lift and thrust Ultra light weight and durable bamboo and plastic building system Ages 8 , 16 page full color manual and experiment guide An ornithopter is a mechanical aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. It imitates the flapping wing flight of birds, insects, and bats. Build four ornithopter models including a bird, bat, butterfly, and dragonfly. The wings work like propellers to generate lift and thrust, powered by a wind-up rubber band engine. A streamlined and durable bamboo and plastic building system enables the models to be light enough to fly gracefully through the air like winged animals.
