@@HariSuprionoYou got it all.

As a frenchman i say hell yeah to that ! 🤣

If I'm correct. The wing tips would be super sonic.

This reminded me of the hunter-killer scene in the movie.

Ornithopters can at least scale up to normal drone sized. For example, the various robot birds and bats Festo has made over the last few years.

There are ornitophter drones. 😅 They actually can fly far longer because of the gliding affect. 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you don't believe me, there's one that looks like a parrot that I believe broke a flight record. 😅 I could be remembering incorrectly.

​@@JDubzDrumzI think that he might be referring specifically to the dragonfly style design rather then any design with flapping wings.

@@tangow371fantastic they are… 100% problems free , are not.

@@tangow371 tbf any VTOL is going to have way more moving parts than something that just flies normal. Much less a tilt rotor. Only so much you can trim

@@tangow371The Osprey is still magnificient. Less accidents than happened with either the blackhawk or the Chinook.

Underrated comment

Looking at nature, Hummingbirds require insane amounts of sugar to stay alive too. Especially compared to otherwise similar birds that flap normally.

Modern ornithoper prototypes in lab settings do actually appear to offer superior efficiency to propeller driven aircraft in certain situations, like at lower airspeeds. I don't know if their testing methodology is completely bulleproof because ornithopters are a really weird mix of biology and aero engineering and judging their effectiveness without a very sound understanding of both is hard, but their performance is at least comparable. The real advantage appears to be that you can achieve similar performance to a fixed wing prop plane while also being able to take off and land vertically.

@@jerrymartin7019 you mean like if everything is set to the opposite so less efficient means more efficient then yeah ok i agree, also you have herd of a helicopter or a V 22 osprey right? if not, these 2 aircraft can also take off and land vertically, id also like to add that if it were possible for birds to have propellers they would because it just makes more sence

It would but hey

@@theumbreon1.0 yes, a bit more than that since my soul is chained

100% this

100% my thoughts. Scaleability is always the biggest hurdle. + how do you steer it? how do you even create lift with it just flapping up and down. Pretty sure a dragonfly can also rotate it a little in the axis n stuff. Biology is complicated and introducing so many moving parts its just inefficient.

Could see this as a real craft used by special forces in military, IF it can be made like the one in Dune, but cant see it ever being used as a passenger airplane

@@elmeril2203 Imagine being a soldior in the thing though. Those wings beating up and down, transversing from up stroke to down stroke (to actually generate any useful lift) would make for a very uncomfortable ride! I'd rather spemd my time snoozing in a C130 than being shaken half to death in a flappy plane :)

Exactly, this design at the scale in this movie will never happen. Too complex, materials that can't take the insane fatigue cycles, the need for extreme vibration cancelling measures. It's ridiculous especially when other flying craft designs could accomplish the same or better flight with less complexity and greater reliability.

I think they'll make a come back. They clearly work but now we have the solid state autopilot and stability control systems to make it work as well as high power electric motors for control of wing flapping, articulation and warping. They will be VTOL and very quiet.

@@williamzk9083 not sure about that, they would be less efficient, a lot more stress on the moving parts and who knows how loud it would be because there isn't a full scale working version

​​@@williamzk9083 Energy efficiency and the ridiculously high inertial forces at the wings with every direction change at this speed negate your idea Thats why you dont see this on larger animals.

@@alphadawg81 pterodactyls with wing spans of 10n/33ft and 250kg flew and leaped into the air. Only minimal Stresses would be involved. The inertia of the gentle downwards propulsive beat is arrested by aerodynamic lift itself. The wing then twist and rises gently under its own lift till at the top of the stroke when it descended da again. There would be no huge forces at the shoulder Joint

​@@williamzk9083The bigger an animal, the less it flaps. For good reasons. Large Pterosaurs would have hardly flapped in flight mode.

Fun fact according to the Dune lore, ornithopters are powered by a giant living mollusk bred to flap the wings

like a cartoon

lmfao he said orthinopter lmfao

Thats what I thought

Thats why Paris fell

@@thelettera582 i think he was talking about when the wings bent and kinda looked like a swastika 5:31

@@Pixilated My bad, I did not see that

It seems to copy insect rather than bird flight as its name 'orni' would suggest.

except it doesn't work whatsoever, so there's nothing clever about it.

@@Ass_of_AmalekOrnithopters do work and do fly.

@@williamzk9083 at human scale the best are absolutely terrible compared to propeller- or jet-propelled aircraft.

@@williamzk9083no, not this type. Do you realize the forces at the end of the tip? The longer the wing, the faster the tip would be moving-physical limits exist. This only works at small scales-there’s a reason why no flying organism larger than ~a hummingbird uses this mechanism for flight. Material science isn’t even close-you not only have to consider the forces, tensile strength, but also heat. Can you imagine how hot the tip of the wing would get? Flapping like an albatross, maybe, not a dragonfly.

Thanks, but I think you need to provide us with a diagram of what you just said. 😅

I wish I spoke engineer but sounds awesome

or you're totally wrong and wings actually work worse in air agitated by other wings ahead of them... which is what real life aircraft and racing cars' spoilers show to be the case. 😒 ornithopter wings certainly do need to change pitch or be flexible to change pitch by yielding to air resistance, more on the upstroke, which seems to be one of the things you're suggesting, without that, an ornithopter is entirely hopeless. insects generally fly that way, as do hummingbirds (the latter are the flying animals most easily replicated in simple hovering flight by ornithopters). some birds and I think more so bats fly mostly in a sort of butterfly stroke swimming like motion that involves complex folding of the wings to pull them forward, which would be very difficult to replicate. and many like small songbirds actually use a really strange looking standard flying pattern in which they flap a few strokes to propel up and forward, then tuck their wings in and arc a bit up and then down again like a little torpedo, so they bounce up and down. ai reckon it's probably an adaptation that they're evolved to basically do for fun, while it serves the evolutionary purpose of being more difficult for a surprise attack from an aerial predator like a falcon to hit them.

Desmodromes. I haven't heard that word since college....and a Ducati brochure talking about their desmosedice engine 😅

we need Thunderf00t in on this

it'd be basically the Thunderscreech all over again, except instead of a single (quite short, stout and rigid) propeller moved by a double engine connected to a single shaft, it'd be four independent wings with either two or four engines on a crank to move the wing up and down. Forget the vibrations on the wing itself, not sure any sort of engine would be able to withstand the stress of having to move a whole ass wing at basically supersonic speeds without wanting to jump out of the fuselage

There have been a couple of prop driven designs whose propeller tips broke the sound barrier. The engines didn't explode, but the pilots suffered constant severe headaches from being bombarded by dozens of tiny sonic booms all the time.

@@lukedogwalker a single design, the Thunderscreech, and it literally rattled the plane loose after a single hour of flight... assuming the test pilot could withstand the nausea that long

@@DonPatrono I thought there was also a variant/prototype of the Wyvern that this was tried with, but was abandoned.

​@@DonPatrono the Tu-95's blade tips exceed the speed of sound. There's a reason it's infamously loud.

I don't know enough about Dune lore to say if that's true, but I know enough to say it's entirely plausible.

This sounds totally plausible from someone who tried reading dune at too young and age and gave up

Flies have two wings. The other two have evolved into club like appendages.

It truly was a french plane ahead of its time. It surrendered before the war even started!

It all started with James Pitts' "Sky Car" vibrating orthotopter umbrella, then the umbrella was closed with a dome and devices appeared according to the scheme of conventional electromagnetic vibrating speakers (membrane + inductance) - fragments of the membrane were found by a farmer in Roswell. Then they created piezoelectric thrusters, or with small dischargers on the surface (they glowed all over the body due to ionization of the air), and now they are planes with plasma propulsion panels (so they are angular - that is, with flat surfaces). Thousands of discharge cells are densely packed into motor panels - they shoot streams of plasma (railgun architecture - coaxial electrodes). The ionized air of the spark discharge is accelerated in the railgun chamber by the Lorentz force to enormous speeds - a kind of ramjet engine is obtained. 💥💥💥💥💥
