A wind tunnel investigation of the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of bionic flapping wings with three-dimensional complex motion

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2023
The bionic flapping wing aircraft realizes flight by imitating the structure and flapping mode of birds. In this paper, a three-dimensional composite motion aerodynamic analysis model of a bionic flapping wing is established.

Flying State Sensing and Estimation Method of Large-Scale Bionic Flapping Wing Flying Robot

open access: yesActuators, 2022
A large bionic flapping wing robot has unique advantages in flight efficiency. However, the fluctuation of fuselage centroid during flight makes it difficult for traditional state sensing and estimation methods to provide stable and accurate data.

Dimensional analysis of spring-wing systems reveals performance metrics for resonant flapping-wing flight. [PDF]

open access: yesJ R Soc Interface, 2021
Flapping-wing insects, birds and robots are thought to offset the high power cost of oscillatory wing motion by using elastic elements for energy storage and return. Insects possess highly resilient elastic regions in their flight anatomy that may enable

The aerodynamic effects of wing–wing interaction in flapping insect wings

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2005
SUMMARYWe employed a dynamically scaled mechanical model of the small fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Reynolds number 100–200) to investigate force enhancement due to contralateral wing interactions during stroke reversal (the `clap-and-fling'). The results suggest that lift enhancement during clap-and-fling requires an angular separation between ...

Design and Coupling Dynamics Research of a Single-drive Multi-mode Flapping-wing Aircraft

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2023
Aiming at the problems of single flapping wing movement mode and low flight flexibility and stability of flapping-wing aircraft, a single-drive multi-mode flapping-wing aircraft based on the space linkage mechanism is designed. The kinematic model of the

Research progress on the wind tunnel experiment of a bionic flapping-wing aerial vehicle

open access: yes工程科学学报, 2022
“Flapping wing” is a mechanism observed in the flight of birds, insects, and bats. The lift and thrust for a flight are generated by the active movement of wings. It was first specifically designed by Da Vinci.
