The Ornithopter, the self-propelled flapping-flying machine. We explore the mythology and the marriage of artistry and science in a digestible, fun, and unique challenge. This film follows Todd Reichert and his team of young engineers as they attempt to construct and fly a human-powered ornithopter (a flapping plane).
