Tito Livio Burattini's Dragon

Origin
Tito Livio Burattini was an inventor who developed an early system of measurement, calculated the circumference of the earth and conducted visual observations of the surface of Venus. His most noted feat was the creation of a four winged glider for Polish King Władysław IV. Shaped to resemble a dragon, it successfully lifted a cat but was unable to carry Burattini’s weight.

Effects
A primitive form of glider that proved too bulky, cumbersome and un-aerodynamic to properly fly. Instead, it inverts the laws surrounding its structure necessary to produce flight. The drag force that normally is a hindrance becomes the main source of flight and lift is minimalized. Nearby aircraft within, say, several hundred miles of the effect field will suffer badly and plummet
