Another way this might work is to have two biplanes in a
row and have them manipulatable so that when the front
bi plane tilted to the right, the back biplane tilted to the
left and vice versa. This would require lots of pulleys and
things though -- generally a recipe for disaster. |

Try extending your arm out an open window of a moving car and twisting your open hand slowly up and down, the wind flow will raise and lower your arm effortlessly. Oh. By the way. Make sure there are no oncoming vehicles when attempting this. They will remove your outstretched arm just as effortlessly.

If god had meant us to fly, he would have devised a
better baggage handling system. |

Once one
dismisses
The rest of all possible baggage handling
systems.

You should not be so quick to mock the humble baggage-

See link for cool story of how Alexander Graham Bell
(significantly from the Deaf community) introduces
alierons into the Wright Brothers wing warping
design in order to get around the Wright patent and
in the process starts WWI, WWII, and the rest of the
20th century etc., not to mention law-suiting Wilbur
Wright to death (1912), and reinventing or at least
reintroducing the wheel completely unnecessarily
into the already perfectly workable undulatory
process. Eureka! |

^Eventually ailerons either would have been invented or metal aircraft wouldn't have been. |

Meanwhile the post is basically turning the wings into reciprocating propellers, yes ? cool [+] probably wouldn't work worth a damn though. |
|
| |
Imagine really floppy wings reciprocating in gigantic
figure 8s. |
