Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

Development of Design and Manufacturing of a Fixed Wing Radio Controlled Micro Air Vehicle (MAV)
MIST Journal: GALAXY (DHAKA), 1970 Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) are a new type of aircraft maturing day by day and have reached unprecedented levels of growth recently. Similarly to larger Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), MAVs have enormous potential in applications, both military and civilian, like reconnaissance over battlefields and surveillance of urban areas, data relay, air sampling etc.

Safe Local Exploration for Replanning in Cluttered Unknown Environments for Micro-Aerial Vehicles
, 2017 In order to enable Micro-Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) to assist in complex, unknown, unstructured environments, they must be able to navigate with guaranteed safety, even when faced with a cluttered environment they have no prior knowledge of. While trajectory
