The ornithopter you claim has a jet engine or propellor moving away from
a standing start.

Where's the jet or propellor?

First read the article and then look closely at the pix. The article
mentions it and it's clearly visible in the pix if you're looking for
it. Also 300 meters isn't much of a flight. If it had flown a loop
around the field, it would be more believable...

As it has been mentioned before, you're acting as if you have a personal
stake in this and it seems more and more like that every time you post...
