ROUND ROWING. Aviroute. Thys Rowingbike. On August 2, The Canadian Todd Reichert was the first man to fly a human powered ornithopter: a wing flapping aircraft without propeller.

Thys Rowingbike

Please look at the video of the flight. It is not only amazing for airplane freaks, it is also an esthetical wonder how these large wings flap. You've probably heard about human powered aircrafts, but those were all propellor driven. The unique feature of this project is that the thrust is created by a flapping wing motion, as birds do. The transmission of the pushing movement of the pilot to the flapping wings is based on the super efficient Snek transmission of the rowingbike: extreme light dyneema cords on a Snek (fusee). Thijs Industrial Designs has supported Todd's team with know how since 2006 and sponsored the team with rowingbikeparts for the "Snowbird", the Snowbird simulator and rowingbikes for training the pilots.
