The Development of a Miniature Flexible Flapping Wing Mechanism for use in a Robotic Air Vehicle

In this study a mechanism which produced flapping and pitching motions was designed and fabricated. These motions were produced by using a single electric motor and by exploiting flexible structures. The aerodynamic forces generated by flexible membrane wings were measured using a two degree of fr...
