Dynamic Design of Flapping Wing Near-Hover Micro Air Vehicles

摘要本文旨在研究扑翼微型飞行器动力学设计的基本原理。大自然的小型飞行器，特别是蜂鸟和鹰蛾，为这项工作提供了灵感。本研究项目的目标如下：(1)在不同的机翼几何形状和运动模式下进行悬停和前飞的空气动力学研究；(2)开发微型襟翼试验台，以协助评估设计；(3)开发悬停和点对点运动的导航和控制算法。

AbstractThis proposal is aimed at studying the fundamentals of dynamic design of flapping wing micro air vehicles. Nature's small flying machines, in particular, humming birds and hawk moths, provide the inspiration for this work. The goals of this research project are as follows: (i) aerodynamic studies during hover and forward flight with different wing geometries and kinematic patterns of motion, (ii) Development of a micro flapper testbed to assist in evaluation of the designs, (iii) Development of navigation and control algorithms for hover and point-to-point motions.
