By combining the flapping and rotary motion, a flapping wing rotor (FWR) shows unique kinematics of motion. It can produce a significantly higher aerodynamic efficiency and lift coefficient than insect-like flapping wings. However, due to the lack of con...

In this work, we use a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to comprehend how the two wing arrangement variables, i.e., inner/outer wing proportion and mid-stroke dihedral, affect the lift characteristic of a bat-inspired span ...
