Bird wing is an important symbol in aviation. Lots of inventions in aviation were initiated by human who have been trying to create such wing. To create a wing or an object that has similar performance to the bird wing is very difficult, indeed. This happens as a consequence of the complicated and complex movements of the wing itself, and how the creation itself is related to different scientific fields. The analysis of the wing movement can be approached by creating a model using computational/simulation or experimental method. The former method using mathematical equations and computational simulation requires precise assumptions, complex equations, and a long period of computing process. On the other hand, the latter method, doing an experiment, requires a test model which can move likely or almost alike the movement of the real wing. This research put forward the analysis of a wing model which is attached to an object as an experimental model. The wing movements represented are simple flapping wing motion, helix curve motion and movements which are defined by user through the input of equations of motions. The movements of the model are limited in the angular motion in three degree of freedom (DOF). By limiting the DOF in x, y, and z axes, the simple wing movement and the fluid flow surrounding the model can be investigated. <br />
