The advantages of air vehicle with flapping wing is light and privacy make the vehicle be more scouting such as could carry out the activities of military and disaster relief. The purpose of the study is to investigate the kinematic characteristic and flight ability of an existed air vehicle with flapping wing. First, the topological structure and the position equation of the existed air vehicle were analysis and derived. Then, an experimental device with the existed vehicle and a wind tunnel was setup and used to investigate the characteristics of push and lift forces acted by the vehicle with different wing lengths. The results show the better flight performed one is 100 cm wing length, better endurance and hovering capability ones are 110 and 120 cm wing lengths.
