Measuring Lift Force in Flapping Flight

Abstract

Objective of the research was to measure forces generated by flapping test-ring for rigid and wings having controlled flexibility to identify an efficient wing-kinematics. The results also helps in quantifying lift and thrust for potential wing-kinematics, so that one could select a suitable wing kinematics depending on the requirement.
