There are flapping wing-style systems being developed by various institutions around the world. However, despite there being many systems that superficially appear robust, there is no viable flapping wing flying system at this time. We identified a gap i...

For large bird-like flapping wing aircraft, the fluid?structure coupling problem is very important. Through the passive torsional deformation of the wing, sufficient thrust is generated and propulsion efficiency is ensured. Moreover, spanwise bending def...

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...
