摘要

This paper describes the development of a flapping wing micro air vehicle (MAV), an emerging class of UAVs that fulfil a range of novel military and civil applications. Fixed wing MAVs capable of outdoor flight have existed for several years so there is now great interest in developing a MAV that is able to fly and manoeuvre through confined, indoor environments. Flapping wing MAVs may offer improved manoeuvrability and increased payload capabilities over rotary wing MAVs for this type of flight, where hovering is a necessity. However, this is dependent on the ability to mimic the outstanding aerodynamic performance of insects, which generate a variety of unsteady aerodynamic phenomena to enhance their wing lift production through complex wing kinematics. A novel bio-inspired flapping mechanism has been developed to replicate the wing kinematics employed by insects. The parallel crank-rocker (PCR) mechanism produces an integrated flapping and pitching motion from a single rotary input, allowing it to be extremely lightweight and compact. Unlike previously developed insect-inspired flapping mechanisms, the PCR is not fully constrained so additional actuators can be used to dynamically control the wing angle of attack. A non-airborne PCR prototype has been developed as a miniature experimental test-rig. High speed camera footage verified that the prototype's wing kinematics matches desired values and showed the measured wing beat frequency to be 5.6 Hz, which is lower than simulations predicted. Force measurement data for the prototype indicated that the mechanism produces a mean lift of 23.8 mN at 5.6 Hz.
