Ornithropter

Imperium Portal

The Ornithropter is a unique class of civilian aircraft, which uses regular engines plus large articulated wings to mimic avian flight. These aircraft are graceful and maneuverable beyond normal craft, but require more specialized training as they are prone to mishap in the hands of an inexperienced pilot. Piloting such a vehicle is a sure sign of expert skills and an appreciation for style above the more brutish fashions displayed among other Imperial vehicles.^[1]
