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...

A micro air vehicle (MAV) is a class of miniature unmanned aerial vehicles that has a size restriction and may be autonomous. Fixed-wing MAVs are very attractive for outdoor surveillance missions since they generally offer better payload and endurance ca...

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...
