Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...

The 'tumble' departure mode in weightshift-controlled [PDF]
The cost of private or recreational flying is high for most conventional aircraft types. During the last 25 years, however, an alternative has become available in the form of the microlight aircraft.

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

PairTilt: Design and Control of an Active Tilt‐Rotor Quadcopter for Improved Efficiency and Agility
PairTilt is an actuated tilt‐rotor unmanned aerial vehicle capable of active shape reconfiguration, balancing simplicity, efficiency, and agility. Its H‐shaped frame incorporates pairwise tiltable rotors, which reduce gyroscopic torque and decouple key dynamics, enhancing maneuverability and reducing drag.
