Flapping Wings with Micro Sensors and Flexible Framework to Modify the Aerodynamic Forces of a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV)
The flight of birds or insects has fascinated scholars and physicists for many centuries. Flapping motion, as shown by many nature flyers, is the most efficient way of flying objects whose size are smaller than or around 6 inches. In this chapter, the author introduced how to use modern technology to fabricate the flapping wings for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) with flexibility and smartness. T...
متن کاملAerodynamic Comparison of Hyper-Elliptic Cambered Span (HECS) Wings with Conventional Configurations
An experimental study was conducted to examine the aerodynamic and flow field characteristics of hyper-elliptic cambered span (HECS) wings and compare results with more conventional configurations used for induced drag reduction. Previous preliminary studies, indicating improved L/D characteristics when compared to an elliptical planform prompted this more detailed experimental investigation. B...
متن کاملDynamics and Performance of Tailless Micro Aerial Vehicle with Flexible Articulated Wings
The purpose of this paper is to analyze and discuss the performance and stability of a tailless micro aerial vehicle with flexible articulated wings. The dihedral angles can be varied symmetrically on bothwings to control the aircraft speed independently of the angle of attack and flight-path angle, while an asymmetric dihedral setting can be used to control yaw in the absence of a vertical tai...
متن کاملFlow Around Flapping Flexible Flat Plate Wings
This study investigates the unsteady flow phenomena generated from plunging wings with varying flexibility. The experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel with forward flight conditions at a chord based Reynolds number of 5300. The wings are fabricated out of homogeneous isotropic materials with values of 55 and 1702. The conditions of these experiments are matched to previous studies in a wat...
متن کاملDetermining Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Micro Air Vehicle Using Motion Tracking
Measuring flight characteristics of micro-UAVs is challenging because of their small size and low weight. These constraints prevent the use of conventional onboard measurement systems. The objective of this research was to capture the state information of a radio controlled (RC) airplane using an off-board motion tracking system and to use this state information to study the performance of the ...
