정지비행을 위한 날갯짓 비행체 제작

Abstract

Numerous researchers are actively studying the design and the fabrication of the flapping wing air vehicles (FWAV). The FWAVs are a class of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Most of the FWAVs were designed to mimic nature. The FWAV is designed for various purposes such as exploration, rescue and reconnaissance, and the vehicle is fabricated to meet the purposes. The FWAVs are fabricated for a forward flight and a hovering flight according to the flight direction. The forward flight vehicle is conventional and the fabrication method of the vehicle has been continuously studied. The hovering flight is essential for an advanced FWAV that is capable of a variety of flights. The hovering flight vehicle is difficult to fabricate due to the complicated mechanism for rapid flapping frequency and its weight. In order to manufacture the hovering flapping wing air vehicle (HFWAV), the mechanisms including a gear box are proposed and fabricated. The vehicle can hover as it is experimentally demonstrated. As a result, the fabrication direction for the HFWAV is suggested.
