Dune Ornithopters and Volerian Propulsion System

In this video we are going to explore the fascinating flying machine from the 2021 movie Dune. The thopters in Dune are very versatile aircrafts. To make them in real life, we will have to reduce the vibration levels and increase the sweep of the stroke. We also look at Volerian propulsion system which looks like something from the movies but is actually based on a less known aerodynamic phenomenon called the Katzmayr Effect.
