1. Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle
Team
Shane Stumvoll, Alex Willard, Robert Yarnell,
Hubert Jayakumar, Tim Teal

2. Previous Goals Construct MAV Design and Perform Lift Generation Test
MAV Prototype MAV Prototype in Wind Tunnel

3. Key Accomplishments Calculations: Material Selection
Theoretical Frequency and Amplitude vs. Lift
Four-bar Kinematics and Dynamics
Stress
Material Selection
Prototype Construction
Lift Experiment

4. Spring 2009 Work will be focused towards:
Gearing Design
Tail
Flight Control
Testing
Interfacing and Coding are the Next Big Steps!

5. Gearing Design
Gearing needs to be modified to account for skewing due to rotation.
Previous Gearing

6. 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
