Simplified Model for Forward-Flight Transitions of a Bio-Inspired Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

A new forward-flight model for bird-like ornithopters is presented. The flight dynamics model uses results from potential, unsteady aerodynamics to characterize the forces generated by the flapping wings, including the effects of the dynamic variables on the aerodynamic formulation. Numerical result...
