The
Flapper Facts newsletter was started by Patrick Deshaye
in 1984. I took over as editor in 1992, and later changed
the name to Flapping Wings. Through the sharing of
knowledge and ideas, this publication has accelerated the
development of ornithopters and renewed interest in flapping-wing
flight.
Today,
there is a lot of ornithopter discussion on the internet,
but the Flapping Wings newsletter preserves key developments
in a more lasting and easily accessible format.
It saves you from having to spend countless hours keeping
up with online forums, filtering out all the garbage, and
it presents exclusive articles and plans available nowhere
else!
Spring
2009 contents: An engine-powered ornithopter contest that
was held in 1943. Dave Cylinder's BITE-Wing ornithopter. My
own screw-driven electric ornithopter with no gear reduction.
The
Ornithopter Design Manual is available with your
subscription. This thoroughly revised edition incorporates
the substantial knowledge gained in recent years. It covers
all aspects of design and construction, for all types of ornithopter:
rubber powered, electric RC, and manned ornithopters. The
Ornithopter Design Manual is an indispensible resource
for those seeking to design and build their own ornithopters.
If
you purchase the Design Manual, or if your location is outside
the United States, a shipping and handling fee will be added.
The amount appears during checkout, before you pay.
