The present invention discloses a
flapping-wing aircraft capable of
catapult takeoff and having a sweep-torsion mechanism, belonging to the field of aircraft technology. The aircraft comprises: a
fuselage frame, left and right
flapping wings, a passive torsion mechanism, a sweep mechanism, a
catapult takeoff mechanism, a transmission
flapping mechanism, and a
tail rudder, wherein: a passive torsion mechanism and a sweep mechanism are provided at the roots of the left and right flapping wings, the
catapult takeoff mechanism is provided in the middle of the
fuselage, and a hip joint,
thigh,
ankle joint, calf, foot, and
toe joint are provided from top to bottom, the inner and outer sides of the hip joint are controlled by a
servo motor for relative rotation, the
ankle joint and
toe joint are provided with
elastic energy storage torsion springs, a synchronous
pulley and its drive mechanism are provided between the outer side of the hip joint and the outer side of the
ankle joint to control the relative rotation between the
thigh and the calf, and perform
energy storage for catapult takeoff. In summary, the aircraft can perform catapult takeoff flight, and can perform passive torsion and sweeping motions during the flapping of the wings, which helps to increase the
flapping wing lift and the overall
payload of the aircraft.
