| Abstract | Wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) Umer Yousaf , Nadeem Shafi Khan [2] CAE, NUST, PAKISTAN ABSTRACT The design of fixed wing aircraft is not as complex as the design of the flapping wing. In the flapping wing case, there are additional structural limits due to the extensive vibrations produced in spite of the fact that flapping wing provides elevated aerodynamic performance, maneuverability and hover capabilities. This paper presents a conceptual design of a flapping wing aircraft. Five different design considerations, which are essential for fabricating a flapping wing aircraft i.e. power system, gearbox, wings, aerodynamics and controls (and stability) are discussed. The power system including the rubber band, motors and batteries are evaluated in detail. Different types of available power systems along with their pros and cons are enumerated. The details of the wing and accompanying aerodynamics, which are the more essential considerations, are appraised with the help of figures and equations. The design of flapping wing mechanism for use in general studies involving flapping flight and laboratory based experimental optimization of flapping trajectories is also presented. The results emerging from different sources are finally deliberated in the paper. |
