Micro air vehicle navigation system
IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine, 2008A description of the design, operation, and test results of a Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEMS)-based navigation system for the Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is presented. The MAV is a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) built by Honeywell. It is one of the first applications to use Honeywell's new HG1930 MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Micro air vehicle: architecture and implementation
2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.03CH37422), 2004This paper presents the development of an electrically powered micro air vehicle (MAV) with a wingspan of 360 mm. A miniature flight control system including a self-made micro video image system especially suitable for MAV is developed. The aerodynamic performance of several airfoil sections at low chords Reynolds number is analyzed in order to find an

Figure-8 Flapping Micro Air Vehicle
29th AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference, 2011This paper outlines an approach for creating a more efficiently flying vehicle by using a figure -8 flapping motion. The process spanning from design concept to prototyping testing is discussed. A simple mechanical transmission system was developed in order to create a flap with two degrees of freedom.

Review of insect-inspired wing micro air vehicle
Arthropod Structure & Development, 2023Micro air vehicles (MAVs) have wide application prospects in environmental monitoring, disaster rescue and other civil fields because of their flexibility and maneuverability. Compared with fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) have higher energy utilization efficiency and lower cost and have attracted extensive

Membrane Wing-Based Micro Air Vehicles
Applied Mechanics Reviews, 2005Micro air vehicles (MAVs) with a wingspan of 15cm or shorter, and flight speed around 10m∕s have attracted substantial interest in recent years. There are several prominent features of MAV flight: (i) low Reynolds number (104-105), resulting in degraded aerodynamic performance, (ii) small physical dimensions, resulting in certain favorable scaling ...

Computer Vision for Micro Air Vehicles
2014Autonomous operation of small UAVs in cluttered environments requires three important foundations: fast and accurate knowledge about position in the world for control; obstacle detection and avoidance for safe flight; and all of this has to be executed in real-time onboard the vehicle.

Aerodynamic Studies of Micro Air Vehicles
2001Abstract : The program at Arizona State University (ASU) consisted of complementary experimental, computational, and flight-test elements that examined the aerodynamics of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). All these components supported the actual design of our MAV, called MAVRIC (Micro Aerial Vehicle Research Initiative and Competition) and which competed

Development of a micro air vehicle
The Aeronautical Journal, 2003AbstractThe aerodynamic characteristics of five planar flying wing plan-forms suitable for micro air vehicles (MAVs) are investigated via a series of wind-tunnel tests. The external boundary of the five plan-forms result from slender carbon fibre (CF) struts under various degrees of buckling. The maximum lift/drag ratios were similar for all the (quite
