The Aviator - LEGO Da Vinci Flying Machine
This is a kinetic sculpture of a Da Vinci styled human powered flying machine (also known as an ornithopter) built using LEGO parts. The wings feature a realistic flapping motion and the stand raises and lowers the model to give a realistic sense of flight. It can be operated manually using a crank, or with a LEGO motor.
If you would like to see this potentially become an official set, I would appreciate your support on LEGO IDEAS here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/56943
