摘要: In recent years, several micro air vehicles have been built and flown that use flapping wings to generate lift and/or thrust. These designs can be classified as either biomimetic, trying mimic nature closely possible, or biomorphic, being inspired by but adopting only certain features from nature. The basic physics of the flapping-wing phenomenon is first discussed, followed a description recently developed vehicles. Keywords: micro vehicle; flapping-wing propulsion
