High or low wing?

You've never heard of the ornithopter, then:

As soon as it's certified (well, as soon as it actually works), I'm
confident that all of the posters who made the
still-funny-after-all-these-years comment about birds not having wings on
the bottom will sell their current planes and buy one.


All the best,

Maybe he has, maybe he hasn't. He didn't say there were no aircraft that
flap their wings, he said there were no airplanes that flap their wings. As
an airplane is an aircraft that produces lift by driving a fixed wing
through the air, he's right.
