You've gotta take seriously those aeronautical engineers who publish their
work on GeoCities: Via AVWeb, the Rotopter (in his defense, it's more a teaching project and intellectual exercise):
"the initial idea of the Rotopter was simple: to replace the
progressive motion of a flapping wing with rotation of the one
around vertical axis. Designing a link mechanism that drive the wing
(blade) in flapping movement and enable free rotation around vertical
axis was not difficult. Much more challenging turn out to be
creating a device that will allow variation of the wing incidence
angle."
