Introduction
An ornithopter (from Greek ornithos "bird"and pteron "wing") is an aircraft that flies by flappingits wings.
Designers seek to imitate the flapping-wing flight ofbirds, bats, and insects.
Though machines may differ in form, they are usuallybuilt on the same scale as these flying creatures.
Manned ornithopters have also been built, and somehave been successful.

AERODYNAMICS
Flapping Wings
![Page 8: Ornithopter flying wing mecahnism](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/54bcd8ef4a79595b138b4672/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Aerodynamics of Flapping Wings
When flapping the wings, the airflow is highly
turbulent and producing more lift compared to fixed
wing flight.
These effects are a consequence of the permanently
changing wing position during flapping, and are
connected to the Reynolds number.
In this section the most important aerodynamic
effects are described.

Leading Edge Vortex
During down-stroke with a high angle of attack the flowseparates from the wing and a vortex evolves along theleading edge of the wing.
Due to high turbulence the flow re-attaches the wing beforereaching the trailing edge and stall. The vortex results in asignificant higher lift than could be observed in laminar flow.
At the end of every stroke some insects and birds rotatetheir wings such that the angle of attack remains positive.
The additional circulation around the wing results in extralift.
Concluding it can be said that the aerodynamics ofapplying wing motion are rather complex as it is unsteadyand highly turbulent.

Lift
In order to get a rough idea about what could beexpected as lift, and therefore have a boundary forthe total weight of the MAV, some simplifications arenecessary, which allow applying the 2-dimensionalairfoil theory with the formula for lift (L).
L = (CL.ρ.v2.A)/2

The lift coefficient CL, for a specific angle of attack.

The lift coefficient (CL, Ca or Cz)
It is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generatedby a lifting body to the density of the fluid around the body,its velocity and an associated reference area.
A lifting body is a foil or a complete foil-bearing body such asa fixed-wing aircraft.
The lift coefficient CL refers to the dynamic lift characteristicsof a two-dimensional foil section, with the reference areareplaced by the foil chord.
The lift coefficient CL is defined by
Where L is the lift force, ρ is fluid density, v is trueairspeed, S is platform area and q is the fluid dynamicpressure.

ApplicationsOrnithopters can be made to resemble
birds or insects, they could be used for
military applications without alerting the
enemies that they are under surveillance.
Several ornithopters have been flown with
video cameras on board, some of which
can hover and maneuver in small spaces.

Applications
In 2011, AeroVironment, Inc. announced a
remotely piloted ornithopter resembling a
large hummingbird for possible spy missions.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife has used
these machines to help save the endangered
Gunnison Sage Grouse.
