Dynamics of Micro-Air-Vehicle with Flapping Wings
Acta Polytechnica, 2004 Small (approximately 6 inch long, or hand-held) reconnaissance micro air vehicles (MAVs) will fly inside buildings, and require hover for observation, and agility at low speeds to move in confined spaces. For this flight envelope insect-like flapping wings seem to be an optimal mode of flying.
