Experimental Study on the Effect of Skin Flexibility on Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wings for Micro Air Vehicles

In the present study, the aerodynamic characteristics such as time-averaged lift and drag generation of two flexible membrane (latex thin and thick) wings with different skin flexibilities are compared with those of a conventional rigid (wood) wing to assess the effects of skin flexibility (rigidity...
