Resonance Based Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle
Flapping wing micro air vehicles have many possible applications and have therefore been the subject of extensive research. The Atalanta project aims to develop a fully autonomous, 10 cm wingspan, flapping wing sensor platform. The structure is based on a fully compliant resonating structure with passive wing pitching. Several design improvements have taken place since the last report. Introduc...
متن کاملFlight Dynamic Stability of a Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle in Hover
This paper discusses a methodology of analyzing the flight dynamic stability of a flapping wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) in hover. The flexible flapping wings are modeled by a strain-based geometrically nonlinear beam formulation, coupled with an empirical aerodynamic formulation for load calculation on the wings surfaces. Wing flapping kinematics is described using a set of Euler angles. Nonlin...
متن کاملAn investigation into the longitudinal dynamics and control of a flapping wing micro air vehicle at hovering flight
This paper describes the research into the flight dynamics modelling and flight control of a flapping wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV). The equations of motion based on a multi-body representation of the vehicle and the flapping wings were derived and form the basis for the simulation program, which was developed using MATLAB and SIMULINK. The aerodynamic forces were obtained through experimenta...
متن کاملKinematics Optimization for a Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle
A flight-dynamics oriented simulation model of a flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) has been developed. This concept is based on flapping flight performed in nature by insects or hummingbirds. An optimization of the flapping kinematics of the wing has been led, in order to maximize the mean lift and thus the payload. A neural network has been designed to reproduce the function shape of the w...
متن کاملAutonomous Flight Test of Flapping Micro Air Vehicle
1 General Introduction A Flapping Micro Air Vehicle (FMAV) is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Designers seek to imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, bats and insects. Though machines may differ in form, they are usually built on the same scale as these flying creatures. Basic open-loop flight control is possible through a radio frequency remote controller with joystick [1]. ...
