Flying insects are interesting dipteras with an outstanding wing structure that makes their
flight efficient. It is challenging to mimic flying insects and create effective artificial flapping …

The application of biomimetics in the development of unmanned-aerial-vehicles (UAV) has
advanced to an exceptionally small scale of nano-aerial-vehicles (NAV), which has …

This paper provided a design of bat-inspired tailless flapping wing unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) based on the biological data of the large flying fox. The wing span of the UAV is 1.68 …

A novel multi-layer structure with functions for dynamic stabilization and vibration isolation,
bio-inspired by the role of an avian neck, is proposed in this paper. Inspired by the fact that …

Inspired that the neck structure can stabilize the head from body movements and external
dynamic vibration by the role of intervertebral disc and surrounding muscles, a novel multi …

Micro aerial vehicles using flapping wings are under investigation, as an alternative to fixed-
wing and rotary-wing micro aerial vehicles. Such flapping-wing vehicles promise key …

Emulating periodic main wing movement of a bird for generating lift and thrust remains a
significant challenge in developing a robotic bird. The sequences of main wing motion are …

A micro air vehicle with a bird-mimetic up-down and twisting wing drive system was
developed in this study. The Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (FMAV), with a 50 cm …

A high-order (up to 6th order) Navier–Stokes solver is coupled with a structural solver that
decomposes the equations of three-dimensional elasticity into cross-sectional, small …

In this work, we use a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to
comprehend how the two wing arrangement variables, ie, inner/outer wing proportion and …
