The bionics-based flapping wing rotor (FWR) concept is one of the most potential research directions for developing micro aerial vehicles (MAV) of high efficiency and maneuverability. In the current study of piezoelectric FWR MAV, there are number of challenges especially the lack of flapping amplitude and aerodynamic lifting force, unclear influence of dynamic characteristics on the performance, and uncertainty of the aerodynamic efficiency and flapping motion kinematics. To meet those challenges, we propose to carry out a systematic study starting from piezoelectric （PZT）actuation and mechanical amplification to the whole FWR system. The structural and aeroelastic model of the PZT FWR system and its electro-mechanical and aerodynamic efficiency analysis models will be established and validated by experiment. Investigation will include the effect of the FWR system key parameters including the actuation exciting force type, wing structure layout, modal behavior and the unsteady aerodynamic force on the FWR dynamic characteristics, response and motion kinematics. Effort will be made to disclose the mechanism of efficiency enhancement due to FWR aeroelastic effect. The research will provide theoretical base and analytical models to maximize the system efficiency, and determine the desirable motion kinematics and key parameters for an optimum PZT FWR system. It will also provide the methods for increasing the system efficiency by making best use of the aeroelastic effect. The proposed research will explore the mechanism and analysis methods for developing high efficiency and high performance MAV.
