Bio-inspired design of flapping-wing micro air vehicles
The Aeronautical Journal, 2005AbstractIn this paper the development and flight testing of flapping-wing propelled, radio-controlled micro air vehicles are described. The unconventional vehicles consist of a low aspect ratio fixed-wing with a trailing pair of higher aspect ratio flapping wings which flap in counterphase.

KINEMATICS OPTIMIZATION FOR A FLAPPING-WING MICRO AIR VEHICLE
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2005Abstract A flight-dynamics oriented simulation model of a flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) has been developed. This concept is based on flapping flight performed in nature by insects or hummingbirds. An optimization of the flapping kinematics of the wing has been led, in order to maximize the mean lift and thus the payload.

Flap–control mechanism for flapping-wing micro air vehicles
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2018Flapping-wing micro air vehicles controlled by tail are poor in stability and maneuverability. A crank-slider and double-pendulum control mechanism which integrates flap and control and provides a good maneuverability by breaking the symmetry between the flapping motions of two lateral wings is proposed for the design of flapping-wing micro air ...

PECASE: Soaring Mechanisms for Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles
2015Abstract : In the PECASE program, we address another challenge of small-scale flight: energetics. Gliding forward flight potentially alleviates both of these challenges since gliding requires minimal power and forward flight can achieve passive stability (e.g. using a positive wing dihedral).

Robotic Hummingbird: A Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle
Inspired by the amazing flight capabilities of actual hummingbirds, this thesis describes the design, construction, and testing of a robotic hummingbird, an example of a flapping wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV). The main goal is to develop a bio-inspired micro air vehicle that can replicate the intricate flying patterns of hummingbirds.openaire +1 more source
