X-42 Cyclone

Imagine if a plane could fly not by propulsion but by furiously rotating its wings rather than an engine or wind. That's the Cyclone. I honestly did not expect it to work to any degree but by god it does and it looks really funny doing so. Be advised to let the rotors stop you need to let them unwind to the starting position, so if youve flown for any significant time you're gonna fall in love with a holding pattern.

    @KatBapa20 cyclerotors are an idea that was never seriously built but they at least worked conceptually. This is a real attempt to create one
