Flapping Wing Air Vehicles (FWAVs) have proven to be attractive alternatives to fixed wing
and rotary air vehicles at low speeds because of their bio-inspired ability to hover and …

Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch smoothly between
the 2 locomotion regimes provide us with excellent biomimetic models. However, very few …

A lot of flapping-wing mechanisms have been proposed to mimic the flight characteristics of
biological flyers. However, it is difficult to find studies that consider the unsteady …

Clapping-wing micro air vehicles (CWMAVs) face many control problems due to their
lightweight design and susceptibility to disturbances. This study proposes a radial basis …

Uniform downwash of a revolving or flapping wing is a key indicator of aerodynamic
efficiency. Although the slack-angle of flexible wings can significantly alter the downwash …

This paper involves a novel adaptive control approach of a flexible wing system with
hysteresis nonlinearity. The usual control design strategies based on the ordinary differential …

There are flapping wing-style systems being developed by various institutions around the
world. However, despite there being many systems that superficially appear robust, there is …

In flapping-wing air vehicles, the flapping mechanism is directly related to the movement of
the wing making it one of the major factors in determining aerodynamic performance. In this …

The flapping-wing ornithopter is an aircraft that imitates the flight of birds in nature. It has
significant potential and value in various fields such as surveying, search and rescue …

This paper presents an equivalent dynamic model for vertical regulation control of a flapping-
wing flying robot. The model is presented based on the data of a series of flight experiments …
