Abstract:

Flying animals such as insects and birds use wing flapping for flight, occasionally pausing wing motion and transitioning into gliding to conserve energy for propulsion and achieve high flying efficiency. In this study, we have investigated the gliding performance of a gliding model based on a flapping-wing robot developed in a previous study, with the aim of developing a highly efficient flying robot that utilizes bio-inspired intermittent flight. Wind tunnel experiments with a gliding model have shown that the attitude of the wings has a strong influence on gliding performance and that a tai

The flying wing model has a leading-edge sweep angle of 34.5° and an aspect ratio of 5.79.

Many insects are well adapted to long-distance migration despite the larger energetic costs of flight for small body sizes. To optimize wing design for next-generation flying micro-robots, we analyse butterfly wing shapes and wing orientations at full scale using numerical simulations and in a low-speed wind tunnel at 2, 3.5 and 5 m s −1 . The results indicate that wing orientations which maximize wing span lead to the highest glide performance, with lift to drag ratios up to 6.28, while spreading the fore-wings forward can increase the maximum lift produced and thus improve versatility.

Insect wings are generally constructed from veins and solid membranes. However, in the case of the smallest flying insects, the wing membrane is often replaced by hair-like bristles. In contrast to large insects, it is possible for both bristled and membranous wings to be simultaneously present in small insect species. There is therefore a continuing debate about the advantages and disadvantages of bristled wings for flight. In this study, we experimentally tested bristled robotic wing models on their ability to generate vertical forces and scored aerodynamic efficiency at Reynolds numbers tha

ABSTRACTTo manoeuvre in air, flying animals produce asymmetric flapping between contralateral wings. Unlike the adjustable vertebrate wings, insect wings lack intrinsic musculature, preventing active control over wing shape during flight. However, the wings elastically deform as a result of aerodynamic and inertial forces generated by the flapping motions. How these elastic deformations vary with flapping kinematics and flight performance in free-flying insects is poorly understood.

Abstract:

Flying wing configuration is a promising candidate for various kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, this kind of configuration eliminates conventional vertical tail and rudder, thus existing severe problems on yawing control. To make the flying wing configuration into practical use, it is especially necessary to gain a deep understanding on the control characteristics of yawing control devices. To the innovative yawing control device: split-drag-rudder, which is most widely used on flying wing configuration, the paper introduced its current research and mechanical feature, then carefull

Abstract:

In this paper, an insect-based flapping-wing flying microrobot was built which can successfully fly in the sky. The unsteady aerodynamics associated with this microrobot was studied by using the method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). On the basis of numerical simulation, the Fluid-Structure coupling mechanics for flexible flapping-wings were studied and discussed. According to the practically developed flapping-wing microrobot, a 2-D simulation model for flexible flapping-wings was established.

Abstract:

AbstractThe flight of barnacle geese at airspeeds representing high-speed migrating flight is investigated using experiments and simulations. The experimental part of the work involved the filming of three barnacle geese (Branta Leucopsis) flying at different airspeeds in a wind tunnel. The video footage was analysed in order to extract the wing kinematics. Additional information, such as wing geometry and camber was obtained from a 3D scan of a dried wing. An unsteady vortex lattice method was used to simulate the aerodynamics of the measured flapping motion. The simulations were used in orde

Abstract:

Flight dispersal is ecologically relevant for the survival of supratidal rockpool insects. Dispersal has important consequences for colonisation, gene flow, and evolutionary divergence. Here, we compared the flight dispersal capacity of two congeneric beetle species (Ochthebius quadricollis and Ochthebius lejolisii) that exclusively inhabit these temporary, fragmented, and extreme habitats. We estimated flight capacity and inferred dispersal in both species using different approaches: experimental flying assays, examination of wing morphology, and comparison of microsatellite markers between s

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze influence of airfoil profile on lateral-directional flying quality of flying wing aircraft. The lateral-directional stability is always insufficient for aircraft with the layout due to the absence of vertical stabilizer. A flying wing aircraft with double-swept wing is used as research object in the paper. Design/methodology/approach The 3D model is established for the aircraft with flying wing layout, and parametric modeling is carried out for airfoil mean camber line of the aircraft to analyze lateral-directional stability of the aircraft with

Abstract:

Flying insects typically possess two pairs of wings. In beetles, the front pair has evolved into short, hardened structures, the elytra, which protect the second pair of wings and the abdomen. This allows beetles to exploit habitats that would otherwise cause damage to the wings and body. Many beetles fly with the elytra extended, suggesting that they influence aerodynamic performance, but little is known about their role in flight. Using quantitative measurements of the beetle's wake, we show that the presence of the elytra increases vertical force production by approximately 40 per cent, ind

Abstract Utilizing variable-sweep wing technology can further enhance the flight performance of hypersonic aircraft in a wide range of high-altitude, high-speed environments. Existing research on hypersonic variable-sweep flying wings has mainly focused on aerodynamic shape design, with limited research on the internal thermal protection of the aircraft. This study firstly investigates the performance improvement of a hypersonic flying wing using variable-sweep technology through CFD simulations.

Abstract:

Hovering flies generate exceptionally high lift, because their wings generate a stable leading edge vortex. Micro flying robots with a similar wing design can generate similar high lift by either flapping or spinning their wings. While it requires less power to spin a wing, the overall efficiency depends also on the actuator system driving the wing. Here, we present the first holistic analysis to calculate how long a fly-inspired micro robot can hover with flapping versus spinning wings across scales. We integrate aerodynamic data with data-driven scaling laws for actuator, electronics and mec

Abstract Flying animals can inspire practical approaches to a more advanced way of flying. Dragonflies demonstrate a special flapping pattern in which their wings perform torsional movement while flapping, which is different from that of birds. This flapping pattern is referred to as nonsynchronous flapping in this article. We present a hypothesis that nonsynchronous flapping provides a driving force for enhancing the haemolymph circulation inside dragonfly wings. To support this hypothesis, a controlled experiment was designed and conducted with living dragonflies. By observing the liquid mot
