Overview of Objectives
 To create an experimental
apparatus that can trace
out a given wing motion
similar to a hummingbird
in hovering flight
 Design a system to capture
the aerodynamic structures
created by this wing
motion

Motivation
Study low Reynolds number
unsteady flow of hovering flight
Application for highlymaneuverable MAVs
Single system for thrust and
maneuver

Overview of Requirements
 Wing Range of Motion
 ±80° in horizontal plane
 ±60° in vertical plane
 ±110° about length of the wing (pitch)
 How Achieved:
 Using simple geometry,
and ensuring that the
wing does not collide with
stationary components
±60° ±110°
±80°

Overview of Requirements
 Wing tip motion must follow a given path
 Within 20%, of the maximum amplitude, spatially
 Within 20%, of the period, temporally
 Pitch motion must follow a given rotational mode
 Within 20%, of the maximum angle, rotationally
 Within 20%, of the period of rotation, temporally
 How Achieved:
 Design of Wing Mechanism, FEM analysis to ensure minimal
component deflection under loading
 Software: proper control loops to create the desired control motion
