Ornithopter project
This document provides details on a student project to design a human-carrying ornithopter (mechanical flying machine) that is controlled via radio frequency and has surveillance capabilities. The ornithopter's wings are designed based on bats, beetles, and dragonflies. It uses various small mechanical and electrical components like gears, springs, motors, a wireless camera, microcontroller, and battery. The microcontroller helps process input from sensors to control the ornithopter. The document provides specifications of the components and concludes that ornithopter design remains an obscure area of research compared to fixed-wing aircraft.
