An ornithopter (from Greek ornithos "bird" , pteron "wing" and prop "circle" ) is a woman who flies by using circular wings. These creature occurs not only in women, men have been sighted as well ! But they tend to use aluminium as preferable material.Humans seek to imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, insects and bats. Though machines may differ in form and they use static propellers, they are usually built on the same scale as these flying creatures. Manned ornithopters have also been built, and some successful flights have been reported.Perhaps because the prevailing culture favors fixed wing aircraft, people are mainly aware of the failed attempts at flapping-wing flight. This research describes only the successful attempts. The machines are of two general types: those with engines, and those powered by the muscles of the body.
Flying has had social significance in a number of societies, as a sign of freedom and clarity when in the "right" place.
Where the right and wrong places are differs from one culture to another.
This research is based on a simple realisation.
There are 5 basic steps in the process of becoming an airplane. These steps are:
(1) Planning, (2) Basic building, (3) Assembly, rigging and systems installation, (4) Inspection, certification and test flying.
Some humans will elect to paint their body prior to their test flight while others will wait until they have flown the body several hours to see if any additional rigging is needed or any other problems surface that would require some disassemble.
There are also certain basic tasks involved in most work.
Lets assume you have made the decision to fly - either from a set of plans or from one of the humans that are available around you. Step number one is Planning. I cannot overemphasize the need to properly plan.
Your success in completing your project is largely dependent upon your planning. You certainly cannot anticipate every problem that will arise but you can prepare yourself for most of the stages of preparing the body.
Begin by spending a lot of time reviewing the flying plans and/or the assembly manual.
A thorough study of the manual prior to beginning construction will pay dividends throughout the entire process.
You will know where to begin, what will be needed, space required, safety considerations, etc.
Resist the temptation to give up dreaming and start working. This is a common occurrence and one that should be avoided.
Like any other project, an all flying human can be constructed in a space the size of a two-car garage or a comfortable kitchen. Obviously, the more space you have the easier it will be to work. Just be sure to start in a dry area.
Body's are very easy to damage. A workbench will be not needed. Organize your thoughts and your time as much as possible before you begin. It may be necessary for you to rent a hangar space at an airport during the final assembly stage. If you are working in your basement or garage, noise will be a factor. Certainly, if you decide to paint your own body you will need to build a paint booth and the paint fumes will need to be eliminated.
Human Complicity in Disasters
The interplay of humans and their body's sometimes results in accidents. Faulty design and/or engineering, unsafe practices and ignorance of safety procedures all cause many unnecessary injuries and deaths. Worse yet, people will sometimes intentionally cause a disaster in an effort to scare, control, and/or inflict harm on others.
Human beings are just not built for flying. But since they insist on flying, they might as well have dreams to carry them
with the least discomfort and danger, so say's Indra in stubborn admiration.
The End
