Invention: lower seat-bearing frame with seat and wheels, connected to upper plane-bearing frame keeping the vessel aloft; with option to lock them together rigidly, as during takeoff.
Q: It is human powered, by bicycle pedals. Do they drive propellers or flapping wings? I think it's flapping wings; this is an ornithopter.
