This study focuses on the flapping mechanisms found in recently developed biometric flapping-wing air vehicles (FWAVs). FWAVs mimic the flight characteristics of flying animals, providing advantages such as maneuverability, inconspicuousness, and excellent flight efficiency in the low Reynolds number region. The flapping mechanism is a critical part of determining the aerodynamic performance of an FWAV since it is directly related to the wing motion. In this study, the flight characteristics of birds and bats are introduced, the incorporation of these flight characteristics into the development of FWAVs is elucidated, and the utilization of these flight characteristics in the development of FWAVs is explained. Next, the classification and analysis of flapping mechanisms are conducted based on wing motion and the strategy for improving aerodynamic performance. Lastly, the current research gap is elucidated, and potential future directions for further research are proposed. This review can serve as a guide during the early development stage of FWAVs.

This paper describes the dynamic modeling and analysis of a fixed-wing micro air vehicle (MAV). A nonlinear model for the MAV motion with six degrees of freedom is formulated first. Next, an extended version of the linear-time-invariant model for the MAV is derived by applying small perturbation theory and linearizing around an equilibrium flight condition. This ad hoc extended model for the MAV retains more terms that are generally neglected in mathematic models of conventional airplanes. To explore the stability and control characteristics, the aerodynamic derivatives required by dynamic modeling are evaluated using low-Reynolds-number wind tunnel testing data and some theoretical/empirical formulas. A fixed-wing MAV with a 15-cm wingspan successfully flown in 2002 is used as a baseline prototype for dynamic modeling and analysis. The longitudinal and lateral dynamic responses of the MAV under various conditions are demonstrated. The performance of the present extended MAV model is investigated by comparing the flight dynamics for different models. The simulation results show that the proposed extended model is consistent with the nonlinear dynamics model for a wider range of flight conditions. The present analysis may aid a better understanding of flight characteristics as well as design and analysis of MAV systems.
