8の字運動をする羽ばたき機構の研究開発

Abstract

Radio controlled micro aerial vehicles(MAV) have carried out unmanned missions the natural disaster and direct sowing on dry field. Research and development on flight system of MAV have focused on flying performance on low Reynolds number 0(10[4]) under the biofluid dynamics by many researchers. The motivation of present study aim to produce and develop the MAV with flapping motion of figure-eight pattern of hummingbird by using the imitative technology. This paper is reporting and introducing the outline of flapping mechanism to provide the motion of figure-eight pattern， the results of the visualization of the flapping motion and measurement of unsteady aerodynamic force using the cantilever system.
