Experimental studies of beetle-inspired flapping hind wing in hovering flight

This paper designs a motion test platform that can accurately simulate the movement posture of the hind wing of a beetle. A simple and extensible motion control system is developed to realize the modularization and lightweight of the whole flapping wing motion test platform, which is convenient to realize the movement coordination of double wings. Through the experiment, the lift and thrust data of the model wing are obtained, which are consistent with the simulation results. The rationality and reliability of the flapping-wing motion test platform are verified, and the data basis is also provided for the design of the micro flapping wing aircraft.
