As part of the ongoing research on micro air vehicles, the present work focuses on the effect of membrane flexibility on the aerodynamic performance of flexible latex flapping wings. Wings with membrane thicknesses 0.37, 0.28, and 0.13 mm are chosen, which are named as least flexible (A), flexible (B), and most flexible (C), respectively. The experiments are performed in an air chamber of size 1.5...
This paper presents the development of flexible wings, flapping mechanism, and integrated electronic control system (ECS) to emulate the bat wing flapping for the ongoing micro air vehicle (MAV) research. Three bat species having dimensions close to the design requirement of MAV, namely, Mormopterus Planiceps, Nytophilus Geoffroyi, and Scotorepens Balstoni were selected, and the average of their physical...
