Abstract: How to conveniently tune the flexibility of the composite anisotropic flapping wing to an optimum level to improve flight efficiency is still an open question. Two simple methods have been put forward to realize the quick ...

Abstract: Many studies have focused on the application and mechanism of coflow jet (CFJ) flow control technique in incompressible flow. However, the influence of CFJ parameters in subsonic flow is still uncertain. Five major CFJ ...

Abstract: 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 air vehicle (MAV). A fluid-structure ...

Abstract: Due to different requirements of flight tasks, take-off weights vary according to different payloads, which will definitely influence the trim characteristics and flight dynamics of vehicles. When the mass ratio between ...

Abstract: Avian flight has inspired scientists and engineers for a long time. Flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FMAV) is a kind of air vehicle mimicking the avian flapping flight that has achieved great success in this century. ...
