Aerodynamic Performance of the Three-Dimensional Lumped Flexibility Bionic Hovering Wing by Zhu Jianyang, Jiang Lin, Hou Yu

“…The effects of flexibility on the hovering performance of the three-dimensional flapping wing are investigated, and the results indicate that the best performance of the wing is achieved when the wing flaps at resonance and has the density close to the natural insect wing. The feasibility of using lumped flexibility wings driven by a simple harmonic flapping for designing efficient FMAV is also concluded in this study.…”
