The ornithopter design is absolutely fantastic (i.redd.it)

I love the noise it makes and how it manages to look like a helicopter and biology inspired. And the wing folded dive to get to the spice harvester is just fantastic.

This is literally a dragonfly.

It’s a cool design, but definitely not very inspired or praise worthy.

Hmm? I've never seen a dragon fly with a cockpit or three legs. Tones of adoption work needed.
