Insect‐Inspired Drones: Adjusting the Flapping Kinetics of Insect‐Inspired Wings Improves Aerodynamic Performance

Leeor Mordoch,
Eyal Sabag,
Gal Ribak
et al.

Abstract: Insects flap their wings through a highly specialized musculoskeletal system that allows the wings to rotate about three degrees of freedom. Consequently, the wingtip trajectory is adjustable in 3D, and accompanied with appropriate wing feathering (wing pitch). Remarkably, the complex flapping motion is achieved by thoracic muscles acting on the wing hinge. The wings themselves do not possess muscles but adjust their shape and orientation by elastically deforming due to the loads applied on them during flappin… Show more
