The invention provides a flapping-wing aircraft belonging to the technical field of aircrafts. The flapping-wing aircraft comprises an airframe, a stationary shaft, a reversing frame, a half-rotating swing blade, a pin gear, a steering cam, a gearwheel, a driven gear, a driving gear, a control motor and the like, wherein the stationary shaft and the airframe are fixed, and the reversing frame is fixedly linked with the driven gear; the driving gear and the driven gear are meshed to form a main transmission mechanism of the aircraft to drive the reversing frame and the half-rotating wing blade to rotate to generate propelling force required by the aircraft; and the control motor is driven by a first-stage gear, the cam and the pin gear to form a maneuverable control mechanism of the aircraft, and the initial position of the half-rotating wing blade is changed, so that the direction of the propelling force is changed. The flapping-wing aircraft provided by the invention is flexible in adjusting the direction of the propelling force, stronger in maneuverability and beneficial to the control for taking off, landing and flying in a complex flying space; and the main transmission mechanism and the maneuverable control mechanism are simple, high in reliability and low in manufacturing cost.
