Effects of wing kinematics, corrugation, and clap-and-fling on aerodynamic efficiency of a hovering insect-inspired flapping-wing micro air vehicle

Khanh Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of wing kinematics, corrugation structures, and clap-and-fling on the aerodynamic efficiency of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle. It is found that modified wing kinematics version 3 improved the lift-to-drag ratio by 24%, and distributed wing corrugations slightly augmented the L/D by 2%. Clap-and-fling behavior, however, contributed to a 5% increase in lift but a 9% increase in drag, leading to a 4% reduction in L/D.

The modeling and numerical solution for flapping wing hovering wingbeat dynamics

Xijun Ke et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the nonlinear hovering wingbeat dynamics and proposes a solution for cracking the highly coupled problem of two degrees of freedom. The numerical results have good consistency with measured data, and the adjustable rule of phase offset provides a useful way for bio-inspired flapping wing micro aerial vehicles.

Interaction of the wakes of two flapping wings on control forces and moment

Jong-Seob Han

Summary: This study found that adjusting the mean sweeping angle, which was expected to produce a nose-down moment and consequent thrust for forward movement by tilting lift force, actually generated a significant backward force due to wakes interaction. This backward force was larger than estimated, and increased gradually with an increase in the mean sweeping angle in most motion profiles.
