Modeling and simulation of an ornithopter with forward and elevating flight

Abstract

This paper presents a modeling based 2 links solid pendulum and the open loop simulation of an ornithopter like FESTO's smart bird after discovered the successful parameters. The elevation control of smart bird is not frequency control of faction like FESTO's smart bird but faction and gliding time like golden eagle or hawks. The forward control of smart bird is done by twist of root of wings. It is a difficult point that the range of the parameter in which it can fly is narrow at both solver of Simulink and Excell. Then, the balance value is different according to solver.
