Not the first, it was done 30 years ago, Google Gossamer Albatross.

GA was prop-driven, not an ornithopter (thrust from wing flapping).

This one doesn't seem to have enough power to take off on its own, but enough to
barely maintain level flight.

Mildly creepy looking under weigh; looks like a sailplane with severe
low-frequency flutter.


This one was not an ornithopter either...
It just LOOKS like one...
