Question
sir, im a final year student of BE Aerospace at IST Islamabad, Pakistan. i need ur assistance in chosing a project; Flapping wing MAV.im really inspired by this form of wing motion, its complex aerodynamics tht cn also be seen in nature. do u think i'll be able to design as well as fabricate a low Re flying, flapping, wing MAV @ my undrgrad level.
Waqa
I don't see why not, others have one it. See: http://www.nurseminerva.co.uk/adapt/flapping1.htm
You can even buy a kit at http://www.ornithopter.org/build.shtml
I think that stability and control might be difficult, but a simple model with a fixed tail and flapping wing will fly.
