Design optimization and wind tunnel investigation of a flapping system based on the flapping wing trajectories of a beetle's hindwings

open access: yesComput. Biol. Medicine, 2021
To design a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV), the hovering flight action of a beetle species (Protaetia brevitarsis) was captured, and various parameters, such as the hindwing flapping frequency, flapping amplitude, angle of attack, rotation angle,

Design of Variable Amplitude Flapping Wing Aircraft and Realization of Multiple Flight Modes

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2021
Aiming at the problems of the single flight mode and inflexible flight attitude,a variable amplitude flapping wing aircraft is designed. By adjusting the flapping amplitude, the flapping wing motion attitude and flight mode can be switched.

Effects of deformation and vibration characteristics of wings on flapping flight

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2015
The dragonfly wing is passively deformed under flapping and has the strength to withstand high flapping frequency simultaneously. These characteristics of deformation and vibration of the wing are important for flapping flight.

Effect of Wing-Wing Interaction on the Propulsive Performance of Two Flapping Wings at Biplane Configuration

open access: yesApplied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018
The biplane counter-flapping wing is a special type of wing flapping which is inspired from the fish and insect in nature. The propulsive performance is one of the most important considerations for this kind of flapping wing.

Formation of the leading-edge vortex and spanwise flow on an insect-like flapping-wing throughout a flapping half cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the evolution of the leading-edge vortex and spanwise flow generated by an insect-like flapping-wing at a Reynolds number relevant to flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FMAVs) (Re = ~15,000 ...

Periodic and chaotic flapping of insectile wings [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2015
Insects use flight muscles attached at the base of the wings to produce impressive wing flapping frequencies. The maximum power output of these flight muscles is insufficient to maintain such wing oscillations unless there is good elastic storage of energy in the insect flight system.

Kinematic and Aerodynamic Investigation of the Butterfly in Forward Free Flight for the Butterfly-Inspired Flapping Wing Air Vehicle

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
To ensure the stability of flight, the butterfly needs to flap its wings and simultaneously move its main body to achieve all kinds of flying motion, such as taking off, hovering, or reverse flight.
