Join the Ornithopter Society

The Ornithopter Society was started by Patrick Deshaye in 1984. Through the sharing of knowledge and ideas, the society has accelerated the development of ornithopter technology, leading to renewed interest in flapping-wing flight.

Join the Ornithopter Society today and receive our quarterly newsletter, Flapping Wings! Your initial membership will last one year. You can extend your membership at no cost by contributing articles or plans to the newsletter. This is an important opportunity for you to document your ideas in print.

Today, there is a lot of ornithopter discussion on the internet, but the Flapping Wings newsletter still has an important role. It saves you time by selectively capturing all of the important innovations in our field, filtering out the garbage. Much of the content is original and will never be available online. The Flapping Wings newsletter also preserves key developments in a more lasting format.

Winter 2008 newsletter contents: Flying with Ravens: bird and ornithopter aerobatics. Reaching the Insect World: 10 cm MAV designed by Yoshiyuki Kawamura. Equalizer II plans by Nathan Chronister.

The Ornithopter Design Manual is available exclusively to society members. This totally new print edition of the design manual incorporates the substantial knowledge gained over the last ten years. Purchasing information will appear in the Spring issue of the newsletter.

One-year membership - $12.95

For locations outside the US, a $4 shipping and handling fee will be added.
