Personally I don't expect this vehicle to take off more than few feet ... but it would be interesting to see how far those guys are planning to go and how are they going to get some sponsors to believe in their idea .... whatever that might be! :P It's a very interesting to see some people actually keep trying to bring De Vinci's ancient design into reality.

Just bouncing around and gliding for a few feet then dropping down again. So much for success... Unless they define flight by a few intermitent seconds being airborne a few feet from the floor, but I thought the Wright brothers achieved the same thing a long time ago. If they stick a propeller or any other type of propulsion on it, then the flapping wings will just be a gimmick, since it will be like any other plane. Bet the researches still get paid handsomely anyway. Oh well, back to the drawing board, have to pay for my Ferrari and my mansion!
