Identification of flight aerodynamics for flapping-wing microrobots
2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2013Experimentally collected flight dynamics data of flapping-wing microrobots reveals several characteristics that cannot be captured by the information gathered from static experiments. For an insect-sized flapping-wing micro air vehicle with air dampers, we show that a physics-based quasi-steady aerodynamic model is able to predict the flight dynamics ...

The Flapping Flight of Birds. II
Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1927In a paper in the number of this journal for November, 1925, it was shown that if a flying machine were fitted with wings of standard section and these were flapped in a rhythmical manner, the machine would be supported and propelled, its weight, dimensions and velocity being those of a typical bird; the degree of accuracy attempted in the analysis did

Development of wing‐flapping and flight in normal and flap‐deprived domestic chicks
Developmental Psychobiology, 1981AbstractLateral flight evoked by dropping appeared 7–9 days after hatching. Drop‐evoked bilaterally symmetrical wing extension and slow, low‐amplitude wing‐flapping were present by Day 1. Flapping rate measured using strobophotography increased up to approximately 13 days.

Flapping and Rotary Wing Flight
2016In the previous chapters, we saw the flight of airplanes and gliders requires that a downwash must be created by the fixed wing as it moves through the air. The aerodynamic lift thus created depends crucially upon the speed relative to the atmosphere (airspeed), as well as on the incidence angle (angle-of-attack) made by the flight direction with the ...

A Note on Flapping Flight with Surging
1975A two-dimensional, unsteady, inviscid, incompressible wing theory is developed for a wing at constant angle of incidence executing “small” heaving and “large” surging displacements. The relative order of magnitude of the displacements are referenced to a normalized semichord of unity.
