Numerical simulation of the aerodynamic performance of a novel micro-aerial vehicle mimicking a locust

This paper describes the design, micro-fabrication and testing of a novel Micro-Aerial Vehicle (MAV) that mimicking a real locust. Actual parameters of locust insect are used to create a micro-scale MAV that can replace the traditional types that mimicking dragonfly and birds. Based on the obtained...
