Abstract

A new wind tunnel environment for low Reynolds number testing of Micro Air Vehicles (MAV) is introduced, providing a test rig for plunge and pitch motions and a 6-component force balance. In this study a rigid as well as a flexible version of a typical MAV wing is investigated. Optical measurements techniques are adapted to measure simultaneously the instantaneous model position, orientation, wing deformations and flow fields.
