      Because ambulation and passenger transportation aren’t the same thing otherwise the wings on planes would flap like a birds. As a passenger you’re gong to be very aware of the movements and it’s going to feel like shit.

        If airplane wings could flap they absolutely would. Our biological equivalent is objectively better than any mechanical tech we have right now. It’s really hard to beat millions of years of evolution.

        You can very easily smooth out passenger’s position same way a horse’s head feels comfortable on top of a horse.
