鳥の主翼構造を規範とした羽ばたき翼空力特性の調査

抄録

Recently, a biomimetic approach has received considerable attention in the development of MAV. The advantages of flapping flight of birds and insects are that they have never crashed in strong crosswind and turbulent atmospheric current as well as highly maneuverable. The purpose of our research is to design of flexible flapping wing model based on a bird’s structure and to investigate the effect of the wing model by means of measurements of aerodynamic forces. We make the arm bone and ten feathers by using 3D printer and combine them to make the main wing. Driver system of flapping wing model has two degrees of freedom of flapping and heaving motions. The effect of flexible flapping wing based on a bird’s structure will be clarified by wind tunnel experiments.
