The Effect of Torsional and Bending Stiffness on the Aerodynamic Performance of Flapping Wing

For large bird-like flapping wing aircraft, the fluid–structure coupling problem is very important. Through the passive torsional deformation of the wing, sufficient thrust is generated and propulsion efficiency is ensured. Moreover, spanwise bending deformation will affect lift and thrust. The flow...
