Lift characteristic of the flapping wing micro air vehicle

Guoming Ji

Abstract

In order to exploringly investigate lift mechanism of flapping-wing MAV(Micro Air Vehicle),the lift test of flapping-wing MAV is performed in special micro air vehicle wind tunnel of NPU(Northwestern Polytechnical University).The influences of flapping frequency,wind velocity,angle of attack and camber of flapping-wing on lift characteristic are investigated.The relation between phase-angle of flapping and the magnitude of lift force is investigated.The result of wind tunnel test provides guideline in aircraft design and aerodynamic layout design of flapping-wing MAV.
