Ornithopters (also known as "ornis" or "'thopers") are an iconic flying vehicle of the Dune universe, and will make an appearance in Dune:Awakening. [1] [2] [3] [4] They feature a slim fuselage with large, folding wings that deploy to each side and "flap" up and down (instead of a rotary motion like a helicopter) to generate lift in the same manner as a bird or dragonfly. They also feature rocket boosters to generate bursts of forward thrust, for instance to escape a storm or gain altitude quickly.
