Problems solved by technology

But it is very difficult to actually achieve complex movements like the wings of birds or the high-frequency flapping movements of dragonflies and other insect wings.
The control technology, material and structural problems encountered in the design of the orthopter have not been resolved
However, he still gave us a hint, that is: the obstacles leading to the way of human flapping wing flight are only due to the unresolved control technology

Embodiment Construction

[0043] Take away the flapping wings, hinge plates and drive frame of a canard orchid, and we will find an unpowered rectangular fixed-wing canard in front of us. Therefore, it is very convenient to make a rectangular fixed-wing canard using the existing technology. We only need to pay special attention to the flapping wings, hinge plates, drive frame, and control system. The testing machine should adopt the simplest ultra-light design, so as to be easy to manufacture and easy to improve and adjust. The specific implementation idea is to:

[0044] 1. The fixed wing is one of the main components. Since the drive frame pushes and pulls the flapping wing, the stress of the spar changes frequently, so attention should be paid to ensuring its strength. In the design, the load-bearing part of the fixed spar frame should be hollowed out light metal or light metal composite material, which must not only ensure the strength, but also facilitate the fixed connection with the hinge shaft...

Abstract

The invention discloses an ornithopter with combined flapping wings for performing flight control, which is classified as B64C33 / 00 according to international patent technology. The invention relatesto an ornithopter with combined flapping wings for performing flight control. The invention aims to provide a novel aircraft which is cheap, safe, energy-saving, noiseless, pollution-free and comparatively random to take off and land, and becomes more convenient for human medium and short-distance traffic. The ornithopter produces new cognition for the research of flapping wing flight, and uses the characteristic that the flapping wings flap the air to produce a lift force and a thrust and the characteristic that the flapping wings also control the flight at the same time as two aspects to besolved according to the cognition. According to a provided flapping wing combination solution, the continuity that the flapping wings flap the air to produce the lift force and the thrust is greatly improved; and meanwhile, the technical scheme of solving the flight control by using a control plane is provided. The flight principle and structure of the ornithopter determine the application range of a light airplane, and the ornithopter also can be made into a micro unmanned plane to finish aerial detection tasks.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flapping-wing aircraft with combined flapping wings capable of flight control, which is classified as B64C33 / 00 according to the international patent technology. Background technique [0002] "Encyclopedia of China" (Aviation Volume) [Orthopter] pointed out that "the aircraft whose wings are heavier than air can flutter up and down like the wings of birds and insects, also known as thopters. The flapping wings not only produce Lifting force also produces forward propulsion. Since ancient times, human beings have been yearning to fly freely in the sky like birds, and tried to imitate the flight of birds and insects to manufacture various forms of orthopters. Chinese Spring and Autumn Period (BC From 770 to 481 years ago), someone tried to make a flying wooden bird. In the 15th century, Italy's L. Da Vinci drew a sketch of the flapper. In 1930, an Italian flapper model was tested. It weighs about 22.7 kg and is equipped with a...
