Aerodynamic Performance of a Passive Pitching Model on Bionic Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles by Jinjing Hao, Jianghao Wu, Yanlai Zhang

“…This study applies a bioinspired model that passively imitates insects’ pitching wings to resolve this problem. In this bionic passive pitching model, the wing root is equivalent to a torsional spring. α obtained by solving the coupled dynamic equation is similar to that of insects and exhibits a unique characteristic with two oscillated peaks during the middle of the upstroke/downstroke under the interaction of aerodynamic, torsional, and inertial moments. …”
