Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle Team Shane Stumvoll, Alex Willard, Robert Yarnell, Hubert Jayakumar, Tim Teal
Previous Goals Construct MAV Design and Perform Lift Generation Test MAV Prototype MAV Prototype in Wind Tunnel
Key Accomplishments Calculations: Material Selection Theoretical Frequency and Amplitude vs. Lift Four-bar Kinematics and Dynamics Stress Material Selection Prototype Construction Lift Experiment
Spring 2009 Work will be focused towards: Gearing Design Tail Flight Control Testing Interfacing and Coding are the Next Big Steps!
Gearing Design Gearing needs to be modified to account for skewing due to rotation. Previous Gearing
Interfacing for the following is required RF transmitter and receiver motor speed control Coding actuator control translation of flight dynamics The final design will then go through an iterative testing process until all objectives are met
