By combining the flapping and rotary motion, a bio-inspired flapping wing rotor (FWR) is a
unique kinematics of motion. It can produce a significantly greater aerodynamic lift and …

Flapping wing vehicles (FWVs) have unique flight characteristics and the successful flight of
such a vehicle depends upon efficient design of the flapping mechanisms while keeping the …

Flapping-wing aircraft (FWA) operates in a flight mode that mimics natural flyers, such as
birds, bats and insects. For large scale bird-inspired flapping wings aircraft, the design of …

The flapping wing rotor (FWR) is a novel aerial vehicle that combines the aerodynamic
benefits of both a flapping wing and a rotary wing. By utilizing the passive rotation effect …

In order to develop a flapping wing robot, the principles of flapping behavior must be
understood. In this study, a robot with four flapping wings was investigated to determine the …

For micro unmanned aerial vehicles with the flapping wing mechanism, the thrust is
produced by the unsteady aerodynamics. The produced flapping thrust is similar to the thrust …

In this study, design of flapping wing mini air vehicle (FWMAV) and comparison of wing
designs which are chosen with respect to mass parameters are investigated. Wing shape …

This study investigates the effects of porosity on flying creatures such as dragonflies, moths,
hummingbirds, etc. wing and shows that pores can affect wing performance. These studies …

Insects flapping flight has been inspiring generations of scientists to understand its
peculiarities and, since recently, to develop maneuverable flying micro vehicles. Full-field …
