This model design in LEGO elements was mostly inspired by the 2022 Dune movie concept art. Through the decades since the first publishing of Frank Herbert's book, there have been a lot of Ornithopter designs, and more than a few share the distinctive dragonfly design.

lego ornithopter dune
Personal work exploring what vehicles might look like in Frank Herbert's Dune.
My take on the Dune Ornithopter. Thopters were also very versatile. While they were capable of space travel over short distances, these small vessels were mostly operated in planetary atmospheres. Their uses varied from human transport between cities and continents, to light cargo transport across long distances. Most 'thopters were winged vessels that were capable of flight through jet propulsion, as well as by mimicking the movements of birds. While the jets were the primary propulsion system, the wings assisted in maintaining altitude, as well as maneuvered the vessels.
Being inspired by Denis Villeneuve Dune movie, which was absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed creating this. It was my first model so complex and detailed and I love what I got. I also went further and tried to recreate some frames from the movie itself.
Dune was always one of my favorite Sci-fi books, and #denisvilleneuve made a masterpiece. The movie was absolutely fantastic, but the star of the show was the amazingly beautiful Ornithopter. Like the Spinner, Tumbler , and Aliens Dropship - this will be one of those iconic things LEGO fans will build for generations to come. I've been plucking away at this build ever since I saw the movie (opening night!), going through several iterations to try to LEGOfy. Never have I had such a hard time with balance in a build due to both the tail and long wings (can you spot the LEGO magnet weights? :P) Thank you @georgehulldesign - for creating this truly ironically amazing design and @coliewertz who created the 3D design that was subsequently used in the film. I'm always blown away at your creativity.

This is a Lego model of one the little flying machines the Sky Pirates have in the Miyazaki film "Laputa - Castle in the Sky". They're not called anything in the film so Ornithoptor? Dragonflyer? Flaptor? Take your pick! The Minifig flying it is young Pazu.
Status: design phase This is the avidrone, one of my favorite projects. I’ve been working on it since august, so it’s a fairly long term project. Currently it is in its design phase in …

These ships were capable of carrying 6 passengers, 9 if the back seats were removed. Most ‘thopters were winged vessels that were capable of flight through jet propulsion, as well as by mimicking the movements of birds. While the jets were the primary propulsion system, the wings assisted in maintaining altitude, as well as maneuvered the vessels.
I really liked this flying machine. It has a stunningly attractive design. I chose it as a course project to learn how to model in FUSION 360. In the future I plan to print it on a 3D printer, assemble it and paint it.
