Video looks incredibly fake, the movement of the object across the frame for example.

I agree to an extent. There are 14 videos of them testing and things which makes me unsure.

Fake,

According to physics birds are not suppose to fly, so i do not see how someone with some strapped on wings is going to.

Iirc. The maths for the wing to weight ratio because no aerofoil when your flapping would have to be more or less the same surface area of a 747 and have to flap at something stupid speed that no human can achieve.

Only reason I remember it is because I cant believe they got a scientist from NASA to work out what it would take. What a waste of time.
