Abstract

The current model for kinematics and aerodynamics of a flapping wing system with double articulation is introduced by using strip theory approach based on blade element theory, which is complex. This research helped to formulate the model for kinematics and aerodynamics of a flapping wing system with double articulation using the rigid body approach and also use the model for the selection of motor, battery and the other electronic components to create an efficient an optimized design.  Keywords: Double articulation, flapping wing, aerodynamics, kinematics, rigid-body approach, design, development Cite this Article Nandujith PJ, Prasad MS.
