No idea... but this one only had an 18kW motor:socalfusions said:Do you think that is how it would indeed scale?
I love how your entire rant required an edit that still ultimately contributed nothing to the topic.

If I were a billionaire I would make my entire staff fly everywhere by Ornithopter, and I would sit and make them endure my rants about what a pleasant form of transport it is, as we gyro slammed against the walls during takeoff, the pilot gripping the controls for dear life, him muttering prayers under his breath, the wings beating savagely at our sides, and me screaming the whole time over the whistle scream beat of our wings "How good is this? I just love ornithopters!!!!!"
EDIT: OP - I love how you have a "theoretical" ornithopter question, to be distinguished from those garden variety "real world" onithopter questions, I get so sick of hearing those. Pop culture these days is just "Ornithopter this" and "Ornithopter that", it's about the ornithopter scene these days, noone cares about the wings anymore....
