An ornithopter works by flapping its wings or surfaces to generate lift and thrust, mimicking the flight of birds. The wings move in a motion similar to that of a bird's wings to produce the necessary aerodynamic forces for flight.

The concept of an ornithopter, a machine designed to mimic the flight of birds by flapping its wings, has been around for centuries. The first recorded attempt at creating an ornithopter was by Leonardo da Vinci in the late 15th century, although functional designs did not emerge until much later, in the 19th and 20th centuries.
