This book highlights the design and performance of bio-inspired approach to a flying drone design. The flying drone design in this book is a micro-air vehicle (MAV) where the wingspan of the drone is less than 15cm. It focuses on the wing design of the MAV which is a flapping wing that is based on bat wings. In the first part, this book delves into the past work that has been done in this area and gives a bigger picture of the design approach as well as the blind spots that are in the field. In the second part, the book presents a novel design process with experiments that have been done to measure the performance of the design.

The field of Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FWMAV) has been of interest in recent years and as shown to have many aerodynamic principles unconventional to traditional aviation aerodynamics. In addition to traditional manufacturing techniques, MAVs have utilized techniques and machines that have gained significant interest and investment over the past decade, namely in additive manufacturing. This dissertation discusses the techniques used to manufacture and build a 30 gram-force (gf) model which approaches the lower limit allowed by current commercial off-the-shelf items. The vehicle utilizes a novel mechanism that minimizes traditional kinematic issues associated with four bar mechanisms for flapping wing vehicles. A kinematic reasoning for large amplitude flapping is demonstrated namely, by lowering the cycle averaged angular acceleration of the wings. The vehicle is tested for control authority and lift of the mechanism using three servo drives for wing manipulation. The study then discusses the wing design, manufacturing techniques and limitations involved with the wings for a FWMAV. A set of 17 different wings are tested for lift reaching lifts of 38 gf using the aforementioned vehicle design. The variation in wings spurs the investigation of the flow patterns generated by the flexible wings and its interactions for multiple flapping amplitudes. Phase-lock particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to investigate the unsteady flows generated by the vehicle. A novel flow pattern is experimentally found, namely 2trailing edge vortex capture3 upon wing reversal for all three flapping amplitudes, alluding to a newly discovered addition to the lift enhancing effect of wake capture. This effect is believed to be a result of flexible wings and may provide lift enhancing characteristics to wake capture.

In this study a mechanism which produced flapping and pitching motions was designed and fabricated. These motions were produced by using a single electric motor and by exploiting flexible structures. The aerodynamic forces generated by flexible membrane wings were measured using a two degree of freedom force balance. This force balance measured the aerodynamic forces of lift and thrust. Two sets of wings with varying flexibility were made. Lift and thrust measurements were acquired as the mechanism flapped the wings in a total of thirteen cases. These thirteen cases consisted of zero velocity free stream conditions as well as forward flight conditions of five meters per second. In addition, flapping frequency was varied from two Hertz to four Hertz, while angle of attack offsets varied from zero degrees to fifteen degrees. The four most interesting conditions for both sets of wings were explored in more detail. For each of these conditions, high-speed video of the flapping wing was taken. The images from the video were also correlated with cycle averaged aerodynamic forces produced by the mechanism. Several observations were made regarding the behavior of flexible flapping wings that should aid in the design of future flexible flapping wing vehicles.

This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro air vehicles (MAVs), which present some of the richest problems intersecting science and engineering. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers, thanks to their flexible, deformable wing structures, as well as to outstanding wing, tail and body coordination, is particularly significant. To design and build MAVs with performance comparable to natural flyers, it is essential that natural flyers' combined flexible structural dynamics and aerodynamics are adequately understood. The primary focus of this book is to address the recent developments in flapping wing aerodynamics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (Shyy et al. 2008).

Numerous wing manufacturing techniques have been developed by various universities for research on Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles. Minimal attention though is given to repeatability of wing aerodynamics and dynamic response, which is crucial to avoid asymmetric flapping. Thus the focus of this research becomes twofold. First, repeatable wing manufacturing techniques are developed to ensure flapping wings have similar aerodynamic and dynamic characteristics. For this purpose, four wing designs were selected to not only test the aerodynamics of the different designs, but to also validate manufacturing techniques. The various wing designs are assessed using two methods: dynamic and aerodynamic data. Dynamic data, specifically the wing's structural dynamic response, is measured using a 3D laser vibrometer. From this vibration data, the wings natural frequency modes can be determined which should correlate strongly within the various wing designs if the manufacturing techniques are repeatable. Next, using a piezoelectric flapping actuator, the four wing designs are flapped with force data collected. This data is then used to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of each wing. From the two methods of wing evaluation, it was found that the wings manufactured using a three-layer carbon layup showed greater structural dynamic modal repeatability as compared to one-layer carbon wings. Additionally, Wing Design 3 flapped with the most efficiency with a significantly higher lift to drag ratio as compared to the other wing designs. From this research, the wing manufacturing techniques are quantitatively shown to be repeatable while an optimal wing design based on the maximum lift-to-drag ratio is found which can be used for future research.
