This is a branch from the "Flying Wing as a Cheep and Simple Option for Basic Fun Flying"

It is open for un-powered and powered paragliders, man powered or engine (IC or electric), ornithopter or un-ornithopter (otherwise known as PO or Pseudo Ornithopter as first published in an early, 1970?, NASA technical report. IIRC.

For starters I will repost post # 2,499 from the above referenced thread. Others may follow.

“Ornithopter Development”.
=not ornithopter,
but simplest and effective man powered flying wing device =

(tested in 1977 !)
