Inside this post you can see the world’s first flying ornithopter. If you want to see how this “Snowbird” thing works, watch the video.
Canadians have constructed ornithopter, an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Engineering PhD candidate at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesTodd 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.
这组图片和视频展示了加拿大多伦多航空学院工程学博士托迪.瑞查特制作的世界上第一架人力驱动的扑翼飞机,这架飞机名叫“雪鸟”,它是由金属丝,碳纤维和木头组成,尽管它有与波音737相媲美的展翅32米的宽度,总重却只有42公斤,它通过飞行员踩动踏板来挥动翅膀,就像骑自行车。这架飞机的飞行数据为:以每小时25.6公里的速度飞行了19.3秒,飞行距离145米。就我个人看来,我觉得他做的更像一个大风筝。
