扑翼飞行器(Flapping-wing air vehicle,FAV)即通过模拟昆虫以及鸟类飞行方式而制造的仿生机器人.与常见的固定翼和旋翼飞行器相比,具有效率高、质量轻、机动性强、耗能低等显著优点,是飞行器发展的重要方向.关于扑翼机的研究始于上世纪后期,现如今从理论探索到机体开发都有了可喜的成果.本文首先介绍了世界领先的几款扑翼飞行器的特点,接着简述了扑翼飞行器在动力学、能源、控制等方面的发展现状,并对未来的研究方向做出了展望.%The flapping-wing air vehicle (FAV) is a sort of bionic-robot, which simulates insect and bird flight. Comparing with fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, FAV is characterized by efficiency, low mass, high flexibility and energy conservation, and is a ma jor trend of the aircraft development. The study of FAV can date from the end of 20th century. And now, great achievements have been made both in the theoretical research and modeling. This overview introduces the characters of the leading FAVs in the world, followed by an overlook and outlook of the aerodynamics, energy-supply and control problem for FAVs.
