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...

Many previous studies have shown that wing corrugation of an insect wing is only structurally beneficial in enhancing the wing?s bending stiffness and does not much help to improve the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings. This study uses two-dimens...

A micro air vehicle (MAV) is a class of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles that has a size restriction and may be autonomous. Fixed-wing MAVs are very attractive for outdoor surveillance missions since they generally offer better payload and endurance ca...

Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicles (FW-MAVs), inspired by small insects, have limitless potential to be capable of performing tasks in urban and indoor environments. Through the process of mimicking insect flight, however, there are a lot of challenges for...

Autonomous flight of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FWMAVs) is a major challenge in the field of robotics, due to their light weight and their flapping-induced body motions. An FWMAV is presented weighing a mere 20 g while all its sensors and processi...

Flow visualizations have been performed on a free flying, flapping-wing micro air vehicle (MAV), using a large-scale particle image velocimetry (PIV) approach. The PIV method involves the use of helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSB) as tracer particles. HFSB...

To propel a lightweight structure, a hybrid wing structure was designed; the wing?s geometry resembled a rotor blade, and its flexibility resembled an insect?s flapping wing. The wing was designed to be flexible in twist and spanwise rigid, thus maintain...

In this paper, an ornithopter prototype that mimics the flapping motion of bird flight is developed, and the lift and thrust generation characteristics of different wing designs are evaluated. This project focused on the spar arrangement and material use...
