Modeling of Wing Flapping Motion
Modeling of Wing Flapping Motion
In flying animal world, there are different flapping motions to produce lift and thrust depending on their species and size. Recent development in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle had tried to mimic flying animal. Rather than having two separate systems in providing lift and thrust, the wing upstroke and downstroke movement combined with wing twisting produce the necessary lift and thrust. Insects and some small birds have even the ability to fly hover.The present study is focused on the modeling of wing flapping motion. Instead of only accommodating flapping motion in a vertical plane and spanwise pitching motion, the model permits to include wing lead-lag motion in the horizontal plane. This more degree of freedom permit to model more complex wing flapping motion.
