Aerodynamic and Structural Studies of a Flapping Wing in Forward Flight

Flapping flight is commonly seen in nature at low Reynolds numbers. This work investigates the physical aspects of forward flight for flapping unmanned aerial systems. The kinematics discussed in this paper is based on an anticlockwise figure-8-shaped flapping cycle. The evolution of the complex, un...
