Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a bio-inspired flapping wing type Micro Air Vehicle (MAV). Bio-inspiration is implicated to design a flapping wing aerodynamic ornithopter, controlled using a micro scale integrated on- board electronic circuits and communication device. The study of flapping flight from an experimental standpoint brought insight into the lift-generating mechanisms produced during flapping. These vehicles are meant to address a large number of civilian and military applications including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. A First Person View (FPV) approach is utilized to wirelessly pilot the vehicle and for surveillance. The integrated system concludes to present a multidimensional approach to design, develop and control a micro scale aerial vehicle for deployment.
