This paper describes aerodynamic measurements of micro aerial vehicle sized wings in perching motion. The perching motion is modelled according to the wing motions of birds to rapidly reduce velocity when landing on a small spot i.e. a perch. The motion is defined as a discontinuous pitching of a wing from low starting angles of attack to high final angles. The study was carried out with two rectangular flat plate wings performing the perching motion from 0° to 45° angle of attack. Force measurements with an internal balance were taken for various combinations of Reynolds numbers and reduced frequencies. 2D particle image velocimetry of the flow field was carried out for different time phases of one particular combination, where the force measurements indicate changes in the flow field to occur, to give more insight to the complex unsteady aerodynamic response to this motion type.
