FIELD: aeronautical engineering. SUBSTANCE: flying vehicle has flapping wings set in motion by means of power plant. Flapping wings consists of rigid members having aerodynamic section and interconnected by several flexible stressed couplings. Flying vehicle is also provided with mechanism for automatic change of angle of attack of wings in upper and lower flapping phases and mechanism for manual control of range of change of angle of attack. Flying vehicle is additionally provided with fixed wings mounted above and closer to nose portion of vehicle relative to flapping wings. EFFECT: improved take-off, flight and landing characteristics. 4 cl, 7 dwg
