Most of the driving mechanisms used in micro flapping wing vehicles are gear and linkage transmission mechanisms, which convert the unidirectional rotation of the motor into the reciprocating flapping of the driving mechanism. However, gear and linkage t...

Many previous studies have shown that wing corrugation of an insect wing is only structurally beneficial in enhancing the wing?s bending stiffness and does not much help to improve the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings. This study uses two-dimens...
