Abstract
A power-driven ornithopter piloted by a remote controller wherein a takeoff and landing motion, a climbing and descending motion, and a turning motion of the ornithopter can be controlled using the remote controller. The ornithopter comprises a body, a main wing attached to an upper portion of a front section of the body, and tail wings attached to a rear section of the body. An electric motor, a power transmission mechanism, a battery, first and second servo motors and a controller are installed within a housing of the body. A crank arm is connected to a rotating shaft of the first servo motor and a connecting rod attached to a free end of the crank arm is then pivotally connected to a lower edge of the horizontal tail support. The second servo motor is mounted into a recess formed at an upper side of a rectangular parallelepiped of the horizontal tail support and a rotating shaft of the second servo motor is disposed on a central axis of the horizontal tail. A vertical tail support is supported by the rotating shaft of the second servo motor so that it can be swung on the rotating shaft of the second servo motor in a right and left direction as the rotating shaft of the second servo motor rotates.
