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.
