...Yichen Zhang; Feng Cui; Wu Liu; Wenhao Zhu; Yiming Xiao; Qingcheng Guo; Jiawang Mou Purpose Endurance time is an important factor limiting the progress of flapping-wing aircraft. In this study, this paper developed a prototype of a double-wing flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FMAV) that mimics...

...Zihao Chen; Weiping Zhang; Jiawang Mou; Kexin Zheng Purpose Vertical take-off is commonly adopted in most insect-mimicking flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FMAV) while insects also adopt horizontal take-off from the ground. The purpose of this paper is to study how insects adjust their attitude...

... configurations of different species with exact mimics of the veins. As the experimental investigation was carried for different angle of attacks, velocities and flapping frequencies, this paper can be used as reference for future flapping wing MAV developers. © Emerald Publishing Limited 2019 Emerald...

... in the next flight test phase. Since flapping‐wing MAVs fly with more dynamic wing motion compared to other type MAVs such as rotary or fixed wings, data selection and interpretation along with good understanding of the limit of test equipment turned out to be critical. Some of the characteristics found...
