A first, fly like a bird with man-made wings. Icarius of Greek mythology tried and fail but this guy finally achieve man's dream.

 
wow.. this is fantastic! Man has achieved self powered take off and flight on just wings! SO now need to build up fitness, and then with a better airframe which should be able to fold during flight and be more maneuverable, one should be able to fly further and faster with less effort. Cool!

Don't need to take MRT or cars or even bicycles anymore once this becomes commonplace!
 
COE on wings will go sky high ....pardon the pun.

This one, ang mo Burong Gila!, next they will dress as a pig & attempt to fly!, do pigs fly?, maybe the COE is the lowest, somemore can fly during weekend with red plates!!:D
 
I think from here, there will be more inventors with ideas to improve it. One shortcoming is the amount of energy to generate enough lift. Maybe a slight slope will help. The birdman's fitness and strength dictates the length of time he can be airborne.

Look forward to further developments after some time.

Can try jumping off the PINNACLE with that, sure gets enough wind lift, might even land on Batam!!
 
ma salleh tentu gila punya bro

I think for that kind of distance you need a glider which has already been done. These wings are for flapping not so much for gliding which if from great heights can bring the person much farther.
 
This is nothing new wad, same principle as para-gliding. The key is how well can your flight and direction be controlled so that you don't get stuck on tree top, and how you cope with turbulence :D
 
that should come with practice and more general handling.
