That's pretty neat. When will they implement these into airplanes?

Flapping planes? Nobody would fly even if they get free strip search.

Why not? They could use gyros to keep the people inside nice and still.

I wonder if flapping could support that much weight, also speed is another issue a bird can not fly nearly as fast as a plane. Also changing altitudes I don't think a flapping plane could go as high as a jet.

It's not like I was being serious, haha.
