Optimal Control of Flapping Wing Accounting for Nonsteady Effects
Journal Title: Aviation - Year 2010, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The optimization of flapping wing trajectory for the minimization energy consumed by the wing and associated with induced power losses is considered in this paper. An aircraft with such a wing is assumed to move in a horizontal direction at constant velocity. The flapping wing moves up and down at constant velocity. Unsteady vortex wake influence is analyzed. Comparison of the efficiency coefficients is performed for the steady case, as well as for the one with the sinusoidal and optimal control for the flapping wing. Also, comparison with another type of the thrust creation (propeller) is performed.
