Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In the traditonal flapping-wing aircraft model, most of the wings are two-dimensional rigid wings, and the upswing and downwing processes are completely symmetrical. In order to further improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the flapping-wing aircraft, this paper uses the idea of approximate flexibility to establish the multi-stage wing to achieve the approximate flexibility effect. At the same time, the rapid return characteristic is added to prolong the down-flapping time. And a three-dimensional model of “flutter-twist-bend folding” is proposed by adding the bending-folding motion on the basis of the original movement and twisting motion. The model is imported into Xflow …

Abstract: The aerodynamic characteristics analysis of flapping-wing is of great significance to the design, manufacturing and control of the aircraft. In this paper, a simple motion model of multiple-Degrees-of- Freedom (multi-DOF) of “swing-torsion-bending and folding” is established by analyzing the flight characteristics of bird-like flapping wing. The flapping-wing air vehicle of multi-DOF is numerically simulated in the case of unsteady flow at low Reynolds number by XFlow software. The effects of flapping wing shape, frequency and inflow on surrounding air are analyzed. The simulation results provide theory and technique supports for the flapping-wing air vehicle'research and development.
