Mechanism and Kinematics for Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles Maneuvering Based on Bilateral Wings
International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, 2022 With the development and application of a bionic flapping micro aircraft vehicle (FMAV), further requirements for its high maneuvering flight characteristics have been put forward. A controlling tail cannot meet the requirements of the maneuvering flight

Journal of Robotics, 2020 The current flapping wing adopts T-shaped or cross-shaped tail fin to adjust its flight posture. However, how the tail fin will affect the hover control is not very clear.

Complexity, 2023 Flapping-wing flight control is a multi-input and multi-output nonlinear system with uncertainties, which is affected by modeling errors, parameter variations, external disturbances, and unmodeled dynamics. Parameter uncertainty has a great impact on the

Efficiency of lift production in flapping and gliding flight of swifts.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many flying animals use both flapping and gliding flight as part of their routine behaviour. These two kinematic patterns impose conflicting requirements on wing design for aerodynamic efficiency and, in the absence of extreme morphing, wings cannot be ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, 1909 Abstract This paper is supplementary to one by the same author published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society' in 1899, "On Flapping Flight of Aeroplanes," communicated by the late Prof. George F. FitzGerald, F. R. S. Towards the end of that paper, the author refers to the subject of hovering, and points out that the method of his

Avian Wing Proportions and Flight Styles: First Step towards Predicting the Flight Modes of Mesozoic Birds [PDF]
, 2011 We investigated the relationship between wing element proportions and flight mode in a dataset of living avian species to provide a framework for making basic estimates of the range of flight styles evolved by Mesozoic birds.

Research progress on the energy consumption of bionic flapping-wing aerial vehicles
工程科学学报, 2022 Natural flyers use muscles, bones, and other structures in coordination to attain agile and nimble flight performance. They can fly in various complex environments through different flight modes, such as flapping, hovering, and gliding.

Electrocardiogram recordings in free-ranging gannets reveal minimum difference in heart rate during flapping versus gliding flight [PDF]
, 2006 Gliding flight is one of the major features that allows flying animals to cover extensive distances while minimising their energy expenditures. This has been supported by studies recording heart rate as a proxy for energy expended, but the exact amount ...
