Framed Print of A lone British inventor thought he d stolen the march on the rocket-age designers of
A lone British inventor thought he d stolen the march on the rocket-age designers of Russia and America with what he thought would be the worlds first man-powered aircraft the Ornithopter.
The inventor was Emiel Hartman, 39, a London sculptor. The revolutionary machine had feathered, bird like wings which flapped to obtain both lift and forward speed. The pilot moves them by means of foot pedals and handgrips used like oars.
The Ornithopter is pictured in a hangar at the College of Aeronautics Airfield, Cranfield, Bedfordshire. The aircraft was later towed into the air by car, and then released to perform powered glides.
