초소형 작동기 기술의 발전과 함께, 초소형 플랩핑 날개짓 비행체 개발 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 본 연구에서는 경계요소법을 사용하여 히브진동운동하는 3차원 날개의 운동학적 매개변수인 진동 주파수 및 진폭과 기하학적 변수인 테이퍼 및 종횡비의 변화에 따른 양력 및 추력 특성을 연구했다. 날개짓 주파수가 1Hz 보다 작은 경우 진폭과 무관하게 양력이 발생하지 않았다. 추력계수 값은 날개짓 주파수와 히빙진폭이 클수록 값의 크기가 증가했다. 테이퍼 비와 종횡비가 큰 날개일수록 양력 및 추력 값이 크게 나타났다. 향후 피칭 및 플랩핑 운동 날개의 공력특성변화에 대한 연구를 수행할 예정이다.

본 연구는 중량 20그램의 무선조종 초소형 날갯짓 비행체를 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 날갯짓 비행체는 3채널 방식의 무선조종을 사용하였고, 리튬 폴리머 배터리로 두 개의 DC 페이저 모터를 구동하여 35cm 크기의 날개로 날 수 있도록 하였다. 플래핑 운동만 적용된 날갯짓 비행체의 성능은 비행시험으로 입증되었다. 비행시험 결과는 비행체의 추진에 필요한 충분한 추력이 발생하도록 개발되었다는 것을 나타낸다.

The existing technical limitation makes engineer imitate nature to solve engineering problems. Recently Micro Air Vehicle(MAV) imitating the mechanism of birds or insects is being developed. Especially Ultra Flite supported by DARPA is studying hummingbird aerodynamics to relate that information to MAV. To drive MAV bender piezoelectric(PZT) actuators are used due to the convinience of control and the small size. But the displacement of the PZT actuators are very small, and the wing driving mechanism which amplifies the stroke generated by the PZT actuators has constraints in design and manufacture because of the small dimension. In this paper a wing design concept and a efficient driving mechanism are proposed. Electroactive polymers(EAPs) are used as wing mechanism actuators. Using OpenGL the mechanisms are simulated graphically. Also a prototype actuator is being developed and verified by digital Mockup with CATIA. Basic kinematics of the mechanism is studied.

The human species has been able to fly for about a century - with the help of aircraft of various kinds. Recently. air vehicles which are like an insect or a bird with flapping wings have been appeared, although many of them are experimental flight vehicle. However, the rubber-powered flapping vehicle is put to practical use such as toy, which flies for some seconds. In this paper, we analyze and evaluate above the rubber-powered flight vehicle using axiomatic design and will present new four flapping wing model.

Recently, studies have been carried out to develop unmanned Micro Air Vehicles(MAVs) that can search and monitor inside buildings during urban warfare or rescue operations in hazardous environments. However, existing fixed-wing and rotary-wing MAVs cannot travel at extremely low or high speeds, hover in place, or change directions instantly. This has lead researches to search for other flight methods that could overcome those drawbacks. Insect flight principles and its applications to MAVs are being studied as an alternative flight method. To take flight, insects flap and rotate their wings. These wing motions allow for high maneuverability flight such as hovering, vertical take off and landing, and quick acceleration and deceleration. This paper proposes a method for designing a mechanism that reproduces hovering insect flight, the basis for all other forms of insect flight. The design of a mechanism that can reproduce the motion that causes maximum lift is proposed, the required specifications are calculated, and a method for reproducing hovering insect flight with a single motor is presented. Also, feasibility of the design was confirmed by simulation.
