Abstract

The invention discloses a flapping-wing aerial vehicle driven by steering engines and a flapping-wing aerial vehicle driving method. The flapping-wing aerial vehicle comprises steering engine structures, a flight control panel and a body, wherein the steering engines are used for controlling motion of left and right wings; the flight control panel is used for realizing the wireless communication function between the steering engines and a remote control and realizing motion control of the flapping-wing aerial vehicle according to a flight instruction of the remote control via the steering engines. The steering engines are taken as the driving mode for controlling wing motion, the two steering engines are used to replace a conventional driving mode of a motor and a gear set, the left and right wings of the flapping-wing aerial vehicle are independently controlled, the controllable amount comprises the flapping amplitude, the flapping frequency and the initial position of each wing, multiple flight gestures including straight flight, circling, steering and the like of the flapping-wing aerial vehicle are realized, the driving mechanisms of the flapping-wing aerial vehicle are reduced, the driving efficiency is improved, the flapping-wing aerial vehicle is easy to operate, and stable flight and steering control can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flapping-wing aircraft, and in particular relates to a flapping-wing aircraft driven by a steering gear and a flapping-wing driving method. Background technique [0002] Flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FMAV), as an emerging bionic aircraft, was first proposed by James McMitchell of DARPA in 1997. By analyzing the flight characteristics of birds, it is found that birds, insects, etc. can change the flight mode by changing the flapping amplitude and flapping frequency, and adapt to the changes of the flying environment while ensuring the aerodynamic force required for flight. FMAV generates lift by flapping its wings like an insect, and can fly, hover, circle, turn and even fly upside down. Compared with conventional aircraft, the flapping-wing aircraft based on the principle of bionics can realize multiple flight modes with only one flapping-wing system. [0003] Most of the existing flapping-wing a...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the present invention is to solve the complex mechanical structure of the flapping wing aircraft in the prior art, and there are many defects when it runs quickly. The steering gear is used as the driving method to control the movement of the wings, and two steering gears are used to replace the traditional motor and The drive mode of the gear set realizes various flight attitudes such as direct flight, hovering, and steering of the flapping wing aircraft, reduces the transmission mechanism, and improves the transmission efficiency
