A key challenge is using bionic mechanisms to enhance aerodynamic performance of hover-capable flapping wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV). This paper presented a new lift system with high lift and aerodynamic efficiency, which use a hummingbird as a bionic object. This new lift system is able to effectively utilize the high lift mechanism of hummingbi...
In this paper, we present the development of our latest flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FW-MAV), named Explobird, which features two wings with a wingspan of 195 mm and weighs a mere 25.2 g, enabling it to accomplish vertical take-off and hover flight. We devised a novel gear-based mechanism for the flapping system to achieve high lift capability...
A key challenge in flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) design is to generate high aerodynamic force/torque for improving the vehicle’s maneuverability. This paper presents a bio-inspired hover-capable flapping-wing micro air vehicle, named RoboFly.S, using a cross-tail wing to adjust attitude. We propose a novel flapping mechanism composed of a...
The amazing agility and precise hovering flight of insects and hummingbirds have always attracted much attention. Over the last few years, the interest in flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FW-MAVs) mimicking the behavior of insects and hummingbirds has been rising progressively due to their inherent advantages for hovering flight, excellent mobilit...
Most insects and hummingbirds can generate lift during both upstroke and downstroke with a nearly horizontal flapping stroke plane, and perform precise hovering flight. Further, most birds can utilize tails and muscles in wings to actively control the flight performance, while insects control their flight with muscles based on wing root along with...
Allomyrina dichotoma has a natural ultra-high flying ability and maneuverability. Especially its ability to fly flexibly in the air, makes it more adaptable to the harsh ecological environment. In this study, a bionic flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FMAV) is designed and fabricated by mimicking the flight mode of A. dichotoma. Parametric design wa...
The interest in flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) has been rising progressively in the past years, as they can combine high agility manoeuvres with precision hovering flight and can be applied in complex spaces for reconnaissance missions. In this study, we propose a double flapping-wing MAV, which has four wings comprised by two pairs, each...
