AI Technical Summary
Existing flapping-wing aircraft are complex to assemble and disassemble, have low flight efficiency, short endurance, limited reconnaissance functions, poor portability and deployment capabilities, and cannot simulate the opening and closing mechanism of bird flight feathers, resulting in high air resistance and low lift-to-drag ratio.
It features a modular fuselage, quick-release wing components, and a detachable tail fin, connected by a tool-less snap-fit structure. The wings adopt a fence-like biomimetic structure, and the fuselage has a biomimetic bird-like streamlined shape. It is equipped with flexible skin and a carbon fiber frame, a detachable tail fin and servo motors, an integrated control system and solar panels, and supports quick replacement and self-destruct functions.
It achieves miniaturization, modularization, quick assembly and disassembly, high-efficiency flight, and long-term reconnaissance, improving lift-to-drag ratio and endurance. It is suitable for scientific research, teaching, and rapid deployment in the field, and has high biomimetic stealth and multi-scenario mission adaptability.
