Wing Geometry and Kinematic Parameters Optimization of Flapping Wing Hovering Flight

Wing Geometry and Kinematic Parameters Optimization of Flapping Wing Hovering Flight

How to efficiently mimic the wing shape and kinematics pattern of an able hovering living flier is always a concern of researchers from the flapping wing micro aerial vehicles community. In this work, the separate or combined optimizations of wing geometry or/and wing kinematic parameters are system...
