Optimization of flapping-wing micro aircrafts based on the kinematic parameters using genetic algorithm method

In this paper the optimization of kinematics, which has great influence in performance of flapping foil propulsion, is investigated. The purpose of optimization is to design a flapping-wing micro aircraft with appropriate kinematics and aerodynamics features, making the micro aircraft suitable for t...
