RISTuning the Deformation of Flapping Wing to Improve the Flight Efficiency of Dove FWMAV
Publisher: ASCE
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 ...
Influence of Different Take-Off Weights on the Longitudinal Dynamic Stability of Flapping-Wing MAVs
Publisher: ASCE
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 ...
The Effect of Unsteady Flapping Motion on the Aerodynamic Performance of Bio-Inspired Alula
Publisher: ASCE
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. ...
