Ripstop nylon must be much stronger than this plastic film?

Yes, and also more suitable to get an efficient and precise profile.

Sure, but it was the great challenge of a penniless 18-year-old boy who wanted to investigate new construction methods and demonstrate that it was possible to build independently and fly his own “flying creature” and write a diploma thesis different from everyone else.
He earned a scholarship, 62,000 YouTube views and an invitation to participate in the Coupe Icare.
