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 study focuses on the flapping mechanisms found in recently developed biometric
flapping-wing air vehicles (FWAVs). FWAVs mimic the flight characteristics of flying animals …

To design a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV), the hovering flight action of a beetle
species (Protaetia brevitarsis) was captured, and various parameters, such as the hindwing …

The aerodynamic performance of a flexible membrane flapping wing has been investigated
here. For this purpose, a flapping-wing system and an experimental set-up were designed to …

The power required by flapping and fixed wing vehicles in level flight is determined and
compared. Based on a new modelling approach, the effects of flapping on the induced drag …

To evaluate the propulsion system capabilities of a Flapping Micro Air Vehicle (FMAV), a
new aeroelastic model of a typical flexible FMAV is developed, utilizing the Euler–Bernoulli …

This paper presents a numerical method to simulate the dynamic interaction between the
structural deformation and the aerodynamic characteristics of flexible flapping wing for micro …

The design of a flapping wing air vehicle is dependent on the interaction of drive motors and
wings. In addition to the wing shape and spar arrangement, sizing and flapping kinematics …

The aerodynamic performance of fabricated eagle wing with the corrugated trailing edge
was investigated experimentally and numerically in this study. In this respect, wings were …

In this research, a typical flapping-wing air vehicle is fabricated and tested in a wind tunnel
