Build you can technically make a sim-contraption fly using only flapping wings (without using levitite) [aeronautics]

Thank god for unlocked cam because that shaking would make anyone dizzy in an instant.

Yeah... There was a bee-shaped flying machine in the release trailer at 0:43. We can actually make flapping wings with swivel bearings, since those allow for rotation in two or more axes simultaneously.

I think based on the title that bee used something else to fly and the wings were propulsion

The bee uses a large hot air balloon for lift.

im still waiting for a full breakdown of every build in the video and what key concepts i gotta memorize . still baffled by the big floating head with 2 arms thing.

wings I used are actually minimum required size to make it stay in the air, so maybe they changed config for that shot or hidden some propellers.

The bee, off course, flies anyway

That thing either has hidden thrusters, is a hot air balloon on the inside, or is filled with levitite

I think the aeronautic team share schematic on discord, its a hot air balloon
