TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of flapping wing aircraft. BACKGROUND
[0002] Flapping wing aircraft has a wide application prospect due to its unique bionic shape and flight posture. Current prototype research mainly focuses on medium and large scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft, and small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft prototype is still rare.
[0003] Currently, small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft generally has the problems of short endurance time, weak load capacity, poor autonomous flight capability, etc. The flapping wing of medium and large scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft is composed of arm wing and hand wing. The arm wing corresponds to the humerus of bird wing. Since the arm wing located in the inner part of the flapping wing has large rigidity, small movement amplitude and small geometric deformation amplitude, the arm wing has weak chordwise deformation ability and mainly generates upward lift force, and the generated forward thrust is small. The hand wing corresponds to the ulna and radius of bird wing. Since the wing rib located in the outer part of the flapping wing is a cantilever beam structure, it will generate chordwise deformation while keeping up and down flapping, accelerate the airflow velocity in the forward direction, and mainly generate forward thrust. However, since the flapping wing of medium and large scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft usually has large wingspan and wing area, the required lift force and thrust force can be relatively easily obtained. In comparison, since the flapping wing of small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft is small in size, it is more difficult to obtain the required thrust force as a whole if the arm wing and hand wing are combined. On the other hand, the problems such as reduced motor power density due to size reduction and greater viscous loss caused by reduced Reynolds number are highlighted. Related devices under the constraint of small size have greater contradictions in function and size and weight. Therefore, the design of small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft needs to be comprehensively optimized in terms of overall aircraft design, aerodynamics, power, energy, microelectronics and electromechanical manufacturing, etc. to generate greater forward thrust to overcome the problem of insufficient forward thrust of small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft.
[0004] In summary, the development of practical high performance small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft still faces challenges. The present application focuses on the engineering application development of small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft, and comprehensively designs and optimizes the related systems of the aircraft, thereby providing a high efficiency small scale bird-like flapping wing aircraft.

[0061] Working mechanism for generating stronger forward thrust
[0062] The flapping wing in the application is a full-hand wing structure, which imitates the active deformation of small birds in the flapping process through passive flexible deformation, so as to obtain greater thrust at a small scale. Under the action of aerodynamic force, the flapping wing will undergo obvious flexible deformation, and there is an optimal torsional deformation for the flexible deformation, so that the thrust generated by the flapping wing is maximum. The flexible deformation of the three-dimensional flapping wing can be regarded as the torsional deformation of the two-dimensional flat plate airfoil at different spanwise stations, therefore, the flexible deformation and flapping motion of the three-dimensional flapping wing are simplified as the pitching and heaving motion of the two-dimensional flat plate airfoil, the pitching amplitude is used to simulate the degree of flexibility, so as to determine the optimal deformation corresponding to the maximum thrust. The motion law corresponding to the two-dimensional airfoil is as follows:
[0063] h(t) = h m cos(2πft)
[0064]
[0065] In the formula, h(t) is the heaving amplitude of the airfoil at different stations and different times, h m is the heaving amplitude of each station, f is the flapping frequency, t is the time, θ(t) is the pitching amplitude of the airfoil at different stations and different times, and θ m is the pitching amplitude of each station.
[0066] The Fluent software is used for calculating the pitching heave motion of a two-dimensional flat airfoil. The flat airfoil has a chord length of 100 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. The inner flow field is a rectangular region, the front boundary is 5 chord lengths away from the leading edge of the flat, the rear boundary is 8 chord lengths away from the leading edge of the flat, the upper and lower boundaries are 5 chord lengths away from the leading edge of the flat, respectively. The outer flow field is also a rectangular region, the front boundary is 20 chord lengths away from the leading edge of the flat, the rear boundary is 35 chord lengths away from the leading edge of the flat, the upper and lower boundaries are 20 chord lengths away from the leading edge of the flat, respectively. The grid quantity of the inner flow field is 69088, the grid quantity of the outer flow field is 31110, and the total grid quantity is about 10w, which can ensure high accuracy of the two-dimensional airfoil unsteady calculation. The grid calculation diagram is shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 .
[0067] The calculation states include different wind speeds, flapping frequencies and spanwise stations. The specific calculation parameters are shown in Table 1. Among them, the airfoils at different spanwise stations have different heave amplitudes.
[0068] Table 1 Calculation parameter table
[0069]
[0070] The thrust coefficients of each state obtained by calculation are shown in Figures 8 to 16 .
[0071] Figures 8 to 10 The thrust coefficients of the flat airfoil at different pitching amplitudes under the conditions of flapping frequency 10 Hz and flapping amplitude 60 degrees.
[0072] Figures 11 to 13 The thrust coefficients of the flat airfoil at different pitching amplitudes under the conditions of flapping frequency 15 Hz and flapping amplitude 60 degrees.
[0073] Figures 14 to 16 The thrust coefficients of the flat airfoil at different pitching amplitudes under the conditions of flapping frequency 20 Hz and flapping amplitude 60 degrees.
[0074] It can be found from the figure that for each state, the thrust coefficient shows a similar trend. There is an optimal pitching amplitude that makes the thrust coefficient reach a maximum value. This again proves that flexibility is not the bigger the better, but there is an optimal value. With the increase of wind speed, the thrust coefficient decreases. With the increase of flapping frequency and spanwise occupation, the thrust coefficient generated by the flat airfoil increases.
[0075] The pitching amplitudes corresponding to the maximum thrust and the effective angles of attack at the middle time of the downward flapping in each state are counted, wherein the effective angle of attack calculation formula of the flapping is:
[0076]
[0077] V is cruise speed.
[0078] The effective angle of attack at the middle of the downstroke is:
[0079]
[0080] Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 respectively show the pitch amplitude corresponding to the effective angle of attack at the middle of the downstroke and the maximum thrust at each calculation state under different frequencies.
[0081] Table 2 Effective angle of attack and pitch amplitude at each state under the flapping frequency of 10Hz
[0082]
[0083] Table 3 Effective angle of attack and pitch amplitude at each state under the flapping frequency of 15Hz
[0084]
[0085]
[0086] Table 4 Effective angle of attack and pitch amplitude at each state under the flapping frequency of 20Hz
[0087]
[0088] It can be found from the tables that, except for the case of the spanwise station of 0.25, in most cases, the optimal pitch amplitude required for the maximum thrust is close to the effective angle of attack at the middle of the downstroke. Therefore, it can be considered that the optimal flexible deformation required for the maximum thrust is equal to the effective angle of attack at the middle of the downstroke, that is, half of the induced angle of attack at the middle of the downstroke, as shown in the following formula.

The span of the flapping wing is 0.3 m, the aspect ratio of the flapping wing is 4, the tip-to-root ratio of the flapping wing is 1, the skin of the flapping wing is a polyester film, the skeleton of the flapping wing is a carbon fiber rod structure, the first wing rib is located at a position 33% away from the inner end of the main beam and is inclined to the outside of the flapping wing from front to back at an angle of 80° with the main beam, and the second wing rib is located at a position 57% away from the inner end of the main beam and is inclined to the outside of the flapping wing from front to back at an angle of 39° with the main beam.
