    World's First Human-Powered Ornithopter

    The Snowbird Human-Powered Ornithopter was designed and constructed by a team of students from the University of Toronto.

    On August 2nd 2010 it sustained both altitude and airspeed for 19.3 seconds, becoming the world's first successful human-powered ornithopter.

    I am sure Da Vinci is smiling from somewhere above 😀, seeing this :
