Abstract

In order to improve the structural form and motion performance of traditional flapping aircraft, this paper designs a two-stage flapping mechanism based on the flight motion characteristics of small and medium-sized birds. In order to improve the structural form and motion performance of traditional flapping aircraft, this paper designs a two-stage flapping mechanism based on the flight motion characteristics of small and medium-sized birds. In order to improve the structural form and motion performance of traditional flapping aircraft, this paper designs a two-stage flapping mechanism based on the flight motion characteristics of small and medium-sized birds. The results show that the minimum transmission angle of the designed flapping mechanism is gmin=40.26°. The flapping range of the inner wing is Dd1=49.27°, the upper flapping limit of the inner wing is dmax1=46.08°, the lower flapping limit is dmin1=-3.18°, the flapping range of the outer wing is Dd2=82.18°, the upper flapping limit of the outer wing mechanism is dmax2=90.94°, and the lower flapping limit is dmax2=8.76°.
