Lift Characteristics of Flapping Wing Micro- Air Vehicle(MAV)

AIAA 3rd "Unmanned Unlimited" Technical Conference, Workshop and Exhibit, 2004
Micro Air Vehicles are the subject of continued interest and development over the last several years. The majority of current vehicle concepts rely on rigid fixed wings or rotors. An alternate design based on a flapping wing is being developed that exhibits extreme maneuverability.

Aerial networking communication solutions using Micro Air Vehicle (MAV)

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
The application of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) for wireless networking is slowly gaining significance in the field of network robotics. Aerial transport of data requires efficient network protocols along with accurate positional adjustment of the MAV to minimize transaction times. In our proof of concept, we develop an Aerial networking protocol for data

Lift and Thrust Characteristics of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV)

43rd AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2005
Flapping wing propulsion is center of attention in the field of micro air vehicle research in recent years. Our knowledge in unsteady aerodynamics is insufficient to design an efficient wing that produces the required lift and thrust force for the flapping wing micro air vehicle.

Aerodynamic design, performance evaluation and full scale fabrication of a micro air vehicle (MAV)

Proceedings of 2014 11th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences & Technology (IBCAST) Islamabad, Pakistan, 14th - 18th January, 2014, 2014
The design and development of small scale aerial robots has been currently hindered by the lack of applicability of conventional aerodynamics equations/principles to the small size vehicles flying at extremely low Reynolds number. Also conventional optimization techniques and algorithms have shown very limited success in these applications.

Development of a MEMS-based barometric pressure sensor for micro air vehicle (MAV) altitude measurement

Microsystem Technologies, 2019
A pressure sensor can be used for altimetry as pressure varies with altitude. In this work, a MEMS-based bulk-micromachined piezoresistive pressure sensor is developed for micro air vehicle (MAV) application. The sensor chip has meander shaped diffused piezoresistors, placed at optimum locations determined using FEM simulations for enhancing ...
