Advantages and disadvantages of flapping-wing UAV

Advantages of flapping-wing UAV: light and flexible, few factors affecting take-off and landing, and easy to carry.

Defect of flapping-wing UAV: arm length limitation.

Ornithopter (English scientific name: ornithopter) refers to an aircraft that generates lift and forward force through the active movement of wings like a bird, also known as ornithopter. The dream of human flight began with flapping-wing aircraft and was initially realized from fixed wings. At present, fixed-wing aircraft can send humans into the blue sky, but the dream of flapping wings is still in progress.

Its characteristics are small, clever, clever and tall. The little finger means that flying animals are smaller than other animals, and the largest living bird can fly up to 40 kilograms. Qiao refers to the strange airplane palace and sensory control system produced by flying animals through natural evolution.

Spirit refers to the flexible flapping-wing flight of flying animals, which can achieve vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, forward flight, inverted flight, Fu Chong, sharp turn and other stunts. Flapping wings with high fingers are extremely efficient, especially in the physical strength, lift and long-distance flight ability of flying animals. This is the motive force for human beings to study flapping-wing flight.
