Dipteran-insect-inspired thoracic mechanism with nonlinear stiffness to save inertial power of flapping-wing flight
This paper presents the design, analysis, and characterization of a compliant thoracic mechanism that saves inertial power for flapping-wing micro air vehicles. Lightweight polyimide film hinges were previously integrated into a compliant flapping-wing mechanism to reduce friction. However, these we...
