Design of Bio-Structural View on Micro Aerial Vehicles of Practical Flyer

Abstract

We can learn many things by observing the biological flight of insects, birds and bats since they fly with higher aerodynamic efficiency i.e., their lift to drag ratio is much higher as compared to our airplanes. They produce thrust by a complex morpho-functionalflapping phenomenon. The comparison of flight features of these three types of fliers gives us some useful clues on the nature of natural wing materials having special properties (like light weight and high flexibility) which have to be considered seriously for their usage in Micro aerial vehicle to enhance their aerodynamic efficiency. The evolutionary history of these fliers and flapping is a notable feature.
