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.

Methodologies of Measuring Mechanical Power Delivered at the Shaft of an Induction Motor Driven by VFD
Measuring precise power used by a load of an induction motor driven by a VFD implies a few facts that need to be considered. First, the real electric power. When dealing with waveforms of electric current that contain ha...
Nearest Wall Flows – the Genuine Turbulence
Traditionally, the wall-bounded flows are boundary-layer like flows where the velocity gradients normal to the wall u/y are very large and the velocity monotonously increases from zero to about the velocity free flow,...
