Bioinspired morphing wings for extended flight envelope and roll control of small drones
Small-winged drones can face highly varied aerodynamic requirements, such as high manoeuvrability for flight among obstacles and high wind resistance for constant ground speed against strong headwinds that cannot all be optimally addressed by a single aerodynamic profile. Several bird species solve this problem by changing the shape of their wings to adapt to the different aerodynamic requireme...
متن کاملRoll Control for a Micro Air Vehicle Using Active Wing Morphing
A micro air vehicle is a flight system being designed for operation within urban environments. Such vehicles are small and highly agile but often have limited control authority. This paper investigates the use of morphing as an effector to provide control authority. Simple mechanisms for morphing are designed to twist the wings of a 24 in vehicle and to curl the wings of a 12 in vehicle. Flight...

متن کاملFlight dynamics of a pterosaur-inspired aircraft utilizing a variable-placement vertical tail.
Mission performance for small aircraft is often dependent on the turn radius. Various biologically inspired concepts have demonstrated that performance can be improved by morphing the wings in a manner similar to birds and bats; however, the morphing of the vertical tail has received less attention since neither birds nor bats have an appreciable vertical tail. This paper investigates a design ...
متن کاملBiomechanics and biomimetics in insect-inspired flight systems
Insect- and bird-size drones-micro air vehicles (MAV) that can perform autonomous flight in natural and man-made environments are now an active and well-integrated research area. MAVs normally operate at a low speed in a Reynolds number regime of 10(4)-10(5) or lower, in which most flying animals of insects, birds and bats fly, and encounter unconventional challenges in generating sufficient ae...
