PS - you might want to watch parts 1 & 2 to make total sense of everything!

Hey @Blackarmor... this wonderful creature played a role in this little story video I made - thank you!

make a dune style one

that is freakin amazing

@Nemerend
I would like to see you make one that fits that description. This is as close as you can get in SE

@BreakStuffStealThings
flapping motion still isn't what causes it to fly, also, birds with thrusters on the bottom of their wings? really? gonna need a citation on that one.

@Nemerend
Just because the game doesn't simulate fluid mechanics does not mean this isn't an ornithopter. An ornithopter is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. This definition would also apply to IRL birds with thrusters on the bottoms of their wings that trigger when they flap.

STILL AWESOME

@Nick_is_hraar
Thanks dude

i like how this has a gatling gun but at the same time you dont want it to be fake.
seriously though, it looks amazing.
GmB 2017 年 6 月 1 日 下午 11:46 
this isnt an ornithopter at all
:steamsad:
Ulthane40k 2017 年 5 月 25 日 上午 6:09 
looks cool to bad it kills the game sim so this would have to be the only thing in the world

nice, really nice
Molten Carnage 2017 年 5 月 23 日 下午 10:52 
Sorry about that. I guess there was lag durring my post
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 23 日 下午 10:05 
I just said I tried using gyros to do that. Artificial mass does nothing on a planet
Molten Carnage 2017 年 5 月 23 日 下午 9:42 
What about gyros or arificial mass blocks that turn on and off to counter the bobing, timed according to the movement of the wings?
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 23 日 下午 8:35 
That wouldn't help the rocking, it would just make it even more fake. I was able to make it fly without any rocking using gyro override, but that made it a lot harder to fly because the gyros resisted any turning movement.
Molten Carnage 2017 年 5 月 23 日 下午 7:23 
Awesome creation. Now you just have to figure out how to stablize it. Maybe keep the wings but put the thrusters on the body instead?
Nick_is_hraar 2017 年 5 月 23 日 下午 2:49 
This is nice
also, its hard to fly
i like it

HA! SirWest nice one seeing that comment makes me want to make a spice harvestor now.. lol

Lol~~

Oh man, time to whip out Dune 2000... HOUSE ATREIDES!!! :steamhappy:

If they ever make pistons completly safe this would be awesome but until then its... EXPLODIUM!!!!!

No words can be spilled to describe how weird and yet cool this is.
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 22 日 上午 9:45 
Thanks guys I appreciate the comments

Awesome concept!
DamianTheAlien 2017 年 5 月 22 日 上午 2:28 
Completely impractical but very clever. Illustrative of the creative side of space engineers. Well done.

@Purrfect-Blinky great pun "kinda bugged"

Very inventive - nice job ! :)

Purrfect-Blinky 2017 年 5 月 21 日 下午 4:58 
It's kinda bugged thought... ... I'll let myself out.
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 21 日 下午 2:10 
The concept of a civilization using ornithopters is pretty unique, but the concept of that machine has been around for a while. The name is just a combination of a couple Greek roots for "bird" and "wing"
Viper 2017 年 5 月 21 日 下午 1:55 
@BlackArmor huh, that's fascinating. I remember reading Dune and being like "wow this guy is so creative to come up with this stuff". maybe not, eh
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 21 日 下午 1:26 
Hah uh no dude the name was coined well before dune was around
Viper 2017 年 5 月 21 日 下午 12:31 
@GENRY yeah i think the word ornithopter is originally from Dune. but I think it gets used in a general sense now for things that fly by mimicking wing flapping
John Bee 2017 年 5 月 21 日 上午 10:07 
Fair enough
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 21 日 上午 9:58 
Haha thanks RedPanda. Yeah if people can make "hovertanks" that slide on top of frictionless wheels then I'm going to call this an ornithopter and lose no sleep over it.
John Bee 2017 年 5 月 21 日 上午 9:37 
I tried to make a true ornithopter using Digi's wing mod, I couldn't get it to work due to the wings not providing enough lift however I am currently trying to reduce weight and make the flapping much more stable. This ornithopter, despite using thrusters, is still pretty cool, well done
SilverJeune 2017 年 5 月 21 日 上午 9:06 
This insect looks like the red alert 3 japanese drones. Nice job! :steamhappy:
Tankred 2017 年 5 月 21 日 上午 2:32 
dune?
BlackArmor  [作者] 2017 年 5 月 20 日 下午 10:22 
Great Nemerend, I wasn't aware of that at all
Puppyguard 2017 年 5 月 20 日 下午 9:52 
Yes, but it simulates flight with a flapping motion.
