Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, the demand for drone technology in China has been increasingly growing. The flapping-wing drone, also known as a bionic aircraft, is a novel type of unmanned aerial vehicle. Inspired by the flight modes of birds and insects in nature, it generates lift and thrust through high-frequency flapping of wings to achieve flight. In response to the limitations of traditional flapping-wing drones, this paper proposes a structurally optimized bat-inspired drone based on the spatial mechanism of a single-actuator flapping-wing UAV, through observation and imitation of bat morphology and structure. This study offers an alternative possibility for the spatial structure design of flapping-wing drones, demonstrating significant potential for further research.
