Ornithopter
Ornithopter
Designed an ornithopter for the KIIT Aeronautical Society
The ornithopter will have a horizontal stabilizer in the back. The tail will provide downforce to keep the nose up, and therefore the tail incidence or angle relative to the wing is much more than you would find in an airplane. This angle is typically about 15 degrees, but it may be less or more depending on where the center of gravity is located and other aspects of the ornithopter design.
