A parametric study of flapping wing performance using a robotic flapping wing

2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2009
Flapping wings have the potential to revolutionize the field of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), however the effect of flapping motion on the performance of such wings has not been studied in detail. This paper presents a parametric study of flapping wing propulsion, using two types of passive flapping wings and three flapping motions. Each combination of

Wing Analysis of Bionic Flapping-Wing Flying Robots

2023 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC), 2023
Flapping-wing flying robots, as a newly emerging research hotspot, have attracted more and more researchers' attention. Compared with traditional aircraft, flapping-wing flying robots have the characteristics of high flight efficiency, good concealment, and have a wide range of application prospects.

Optimization Design of Flapping Mechanism and Wings for Flapping-Wing MAVs

2008
In this paper, a lightweight flapping-wing MAV (micro air vehicle) was built which can successfully fly in the sky. However, this flying MAV often pitches toward left or right and crashes during flight. It is mainly caused by the incomplete symmetry of the wings' movement.

A Flapping of Wings

Science, 2012
Robot aircraft that fly like birds could open new vistas in maneuverability, if designers can forge a productive partnership with an old enemy: unsteady airflow.

The effect of wing flexibility on sound generation of flapping wings

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2017
In this study, the unsteady flow and acoustic characteristics of a three-dimensional (3D) flapping wing model of a Tibicen linnei cicada in forward-flight are numerically investigated. A single cicada wing is modelled as a membrane with a prescribed motion reconstructed from high-speed videos of a live insect.
