Clap-and-Fling Mechanism in Non-Zero Inflow of a Tailless Two-Winged Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicle

The aerodynamic performance of clap-and-fling mechanism in a KU-Beetle—a tailless two-winged flapping-wing micro air vehicle—was investigated for various horizontal free-stream inflows. Three inflow speeds of 0 (hovering), 2.52 m/s and 5.04 m/s corresponding to advance ratios of 0, 0.5 and 1 were co...
