Abstract

The concept of flapping wing has served as a deep field of interest for aerodynamics engineers. It is
based on the argument that flapping wing flight, is more efficient than traditional fixed wing at small scale
and rotary flight. It is recognized that the flexible nature of membrane type wings can quantitatively increase
aerodynamic stability by absorbing unsteady forces/moments which store elastic potential energy. Study of
this type of wings at various flapping parameters like frequencies and airflow pattern will aid future
researches in building a flapping wing with more beneficial effects to design UAV(unmanned aerial
vehicle)by using flexible membrane wings.
