The flapping wing UAV (FWUAV)

In this thesis a mechanism which produced flapping and sweeping motions was designed and fabricated. Flapping motion was produced by using a linear actuator and sweeping motion was generated by two independent angular actuators. The combination motions of flapping and sweeping can optimize the gener...
