Flight mechanism and design of biomimetic micro air vehicles. (English) Zbl 1275.76154

Summary: This paper summaries the investigations on natural flyers and development of bio-mimetic micro air vehicles (MAVs) at NUAA, China, where the authors have led a group to conduct research for a decade. The investigations include the studies of low Reynolds number aerodynamics, unsteady computational fluid dynamics and flight control for the fixed-wing MAVs, the bird-like MAVs, the dragonfly-like MAVs and the bee-like MAVs.
