摘要: In the body of research relevant to high-performance flapping micro air vehicles (MAV), development light-weight, compact and energy-efficient mechanisms occupies a position primacy due its direct impact on flight performance mission capability. Realization such versatile mechanism with additional ability producing thrust levels that fulfill requirements cruising forward vertical take-off landing (VTOL) conditions demand extensive design validation evaluation. This paper presents concerted approach for 20 cm span MAV through an iterative process synergistic fabrication options involving electrical-discharge-wire-cutting (EDWC) injection molding. Dynamic characterization each is done high speed photography, power measurement, wind tunnel testing proof-of-concept test flights. The outcome represents best-in-class span...
