It is the type of UAV that works on the flapping mechanisms of wings, inspired by the flight of birds. The flapping wing mechanism function is to convert the motor’s rotary motion into a flapping motion. There are a lot of mechanisms to achieve the flapping of wings example.
Staggered Crank Design - The staggered crank design is the most basic of the flapping wing design. The connector rods are staggered in a measured distance and angle to ensure that the left-wing and right-wing are flapping symmetrically.
Single Gear Crank Design - In this mechanism, the center point where the connector rod and the wing hinges are connected has to expand and contract as the mechanism flaps.
Transverse Shaft - Other variation of flapping mechanism from which allows for the most symmetrical flap; however, it is the heaviest and the most complicated design.
Dual Gear Crank Design - In this mechanism, it features two gears that control each wing hinge separately.
We choose Dual Gear Crank Mechanism for Flapping because of its symmetricity and synchronization of flapping of wings
