FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, particularly, to flying vehicles with flapping wings. Ornithopter comprises fuselage 1 with wings 2 hinged to spars 9. Wings have bearing framework consisting of ribs 11 and spars with ailerons 7 secured at their ends. Two-sided wing skin consists of multiple flexible flaps 8. Every compartment between ribs and spars accommodated two top and bottom flaps. Fuselage comprises undercarriage 17, fin 3, rudder 4, stabiliser 5, and elevator 6. Wings are driven by engine 12 via reduction gearbox 13 and crank mechanism 15. In wings upward flap, said flaps get opened and closed in wings downward flap to create lift required for flight.
EFFECT: vertical takeoff and landing, controlled flight.
