Ornithopter
University of Toronto professor, James DeLaurier is trying to build a working ornithopter (hat tip to the Flea's aviation expert).
"A full-scale, human-carrying, flapping-wing aircraft has never been successfully attained," DeLaurier said. "And it's humanity's most ancient dream of flight, so the motivation is to finally achieve that."
And the words "flapping-wing aircraft" are certainly evocative.
