Abstract
A laser tracking system and a smart wing are proposed and developed to control the flight of a laser-driven micro-airplane. The lasertracking system is composed of a light source, detector and optical system with a galvano-mirror control mechanism, and used for controllingthe smart wing constituted by a wing, phototransistor, battery and smart material. The light source is installed on the ground and so thissystem is effective for miniaturization and lightening of the micro-airplane. Experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of thelaser tracking system and the smart wing.
