Futuristic Ornithopter, Mark 2

Definition of "Ornithopter": An ornithopter is a type of aircraft that derives lift and propulsion from flapping wings, mimicking the flight of birds, bats, or insects. The term comes from the Greek words "ornis" (bird) and "pteron" (wing), coined by Leonardo da Vinci, who sketched early designs in the late 15th century. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters, ornithopters use a mechanism to flap their wings, often powered by human effort, engines, or, in speculative fiction, advanced technology.
