Abstract

The flapping wing micro-air vehicle (FWMAV) is a new type of aerial vehicle which uses mechanical structure to simulate bird flight. The FWMAV possesses the characteristics of small size, light weight, high flight efficiency and no occupation of runway. Firstly, we calculate the aerodynamic lift and drag on the wing surface. Then, through the analysis and summary of the existing FWMAV control technology, the attitude control model of the aerial vehicle is obtained. Besides, the control system based on STM32F103 is designed, which is equipped with a communication module and thus controls the position and flight attitude through the control signals received wirelessly. Finally, the feasibility of the system is verified by MATLAB and Simulink simulation.
