AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing flapping-wing aircraft have poor coupling between flapping and extension/retraction motions, high structural complexity, and difficulty in miniaturization and weight reduction.
Method used
It adopts a single power source to drive both the flapping and extension mechanisms. The flapping and extension mechanisms are directly connected through the rocker arm of the servo motor, so as to realize the synchronization of the flapping and extension of the wings. The structure is independent and directly connected to the power source.
Benefits of technology
It improves the coupling between flapping and extension, reduces structural complexity, enhances energy utilization efficiency, and simplifies aircraft design.

Abstract
The application discloses a bionic flapping-wing aircraft. The bionic flapping-wing aircraft comprises a fuselage, wings, a flapping mechanism, an extension mechanism and a power source. The wings are rotatably installed on the two sides of the fuselage, the flapping mechanism is installed on the fuselage and is in transmission connection with the wings, the flapping mechanism is used for driving the wings to flap, the extension mechanism is installed on the fuselage and is in transmission connection with the wings, the extension mechanism is used for driving the wings to extend and retract, and the power source is used for simultaneously providing power to the flapping mechanism and the extension mechanism. The bionic flapping-wing aircraft adopts a single power source to simultaneously drive the flapping mechanism and the extension mechanism, so that the flapping and the extension of the wings can be simultaneously performed, the coupling of the flapping and the extension is improved, the flapping mechanism and the extension mechanism are independent of each other and are directly connected to the power source, and the two do not need to be assembled with each other, so that the structural complexity of the aircraft is reduced.
