Abstract

The main purpose of this work was to spear head research and development in Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) especially in the development small flapping wing systems which can greatly be used for defense as well as surveillance purposes. This project focused on the development of a flapping wing mechanism with a wing span of just 3 cm using a piezoelectric bimorph actuator.
