Met de \u003ci\u003eUmbilly\u003c/i\u003e tracht Panamarenko het trilmechanisme van de insectenvleugels nog te perfectioneren. De vaste vleugels van de Meganeudons worden vervangen door bewegende vleugels, en net als de Chisto wordt ook de \u003ci\u003eUmbilly\u003c/i\u003e uitgerust met een verend element dat bevestigd is op een frame van makrolon.

Als energie voor de aandrijving van de vleugels kiest Panamarenko voor mensenkracht.\u0026nbsp;Als ge een zware Volkswagenmotor zou gebruiken, wordt het hele spul infrut uiteen getrokken.
