Wooden Bird, which was made by Lu Pan (the most famous carpenter in ancient China) more than two thousand years ago, was the earliest manned aircraft in Chinese history. It had also been suggested to be a proto-kite.
According to relevant records, Wooden Bird, the non-powered flying machine, could stay in the air for three days. It could be easily start by three beats.
Unfortunately, the wooden bird disappeared with the death of Lu. Only kite was passed down from generation to generation.
