Abstract: Until recently, it has become clear that unsteady
mechanism, including high frequency flapping, is necessary for insects
to produce enough lift and to keep themselves aloft. Imitating insects,
the flapping mechanism is designed, which converts the rotational motion
of motor into the two-degree-of- freedom flapping motion of wings. The
lift of flapping wings is measured by the force-measuring device.
Instantaneous aerodynamic forces are calculated under a set of kinematic
parameters. The study can be used as a preparation for the design of
micro air robot with flapping wings.
