Resumo(s)

Natural flight was always a source of inspiration to human beings, and by observing it, new technologies emerged, especially in bioinspired aerial vehicle design. The main objective of the present work is to experimentally evaluate the influence of the wing shape on their behavior and power consumption. To accomplish that goal, four wings were selected and an experimental rig was developed. Airflow velocities tested ranged from 0 up to 4 m s−1 with four different throttle positions. Flapping frequency and amplitude were obtained from high-speed camera tests and the power consumption of the wings tested was measured. It is observed that amplitude is between 0.12 m and 0.25 m, frequency between 4 and 15 Hz. Regarding power consumption, the design wings presented lower averaged power-to-weight ratio values when compared to BionicBird wings.
