A Rotary Wing System for Micro Air Vehicle Applications. Part 1
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The goal of the paper is to propose a new type of ornithopter that avoids the mechanical difficulties of a flapping system. It uses a modified design of a cycloidal propulsor. The modification regards the special setting of the wings that is intended to help the formation of a stable leading edge vortex (LEV). It is known that the LEV is the main feature that allows the insects to achieve the necessary lift to fly.
