title = "Lift and thrust characteristics of the flapping wing micro air vehicle",
abstract = "This paper concentrates on the effects of the maximum angle of flap and flapping frequency on the thrust and the lift characteristics of the flapping wing micro air vehicle (MAV). A flapping mechanism powered by small D.C motor was designed and fabricated for experimental purpose. It is possible to change the maximum angle of flap and flapping frequency by adjusting the crank size of flapping mechanism and supply voltage to the D.C motor respectively. Experiments were conducted in special micro air vehicle wind tunnel of NPU (Northwestern Polytechnical University). One wing has been used for this experiment to avoid the influence of wing geometry parameter. All the tests were carried out in full-scale model. The result of experiment provides the guidelines in conceptual design and aerodynamic design of flapping wing MAV.",
