    The way this game simulates flutter occasionally causes a glitch where the wings oscillate at an incredible frequency.
    If you've ever seen one of the good ornithopters on the site, you'll know that flapping wings can indeed generate thrust without the need for engines.
    These wings flapped SO FAST, the aircraft got propelled to hypersonic velocities in an instant.
    Also, just for fun, I did a little math, and our pilot there probably pulled around to 100 g for 2 seconds. He'd be dead before the plane even crashed.
