About
WHAT IS FWMAV?
We are a student-led research team dedicated to bridging the gap between natural flight and modern engineering by studying the complex aerodynamics of flapping wings. Our project focuses on evolving our quadflapper and novel prototypes into high-performance aerial vehicles that challenge the efficiency of traditional propeller drones.
Project Objective
Our research focuses on flight mechanisms and physical phenomena. Different forms of fluid computation and force analysis are performed on our flappers to learn about the complex unsteady aerodynamics associated with the flapping motion of wings. The agility and ability to hover allows FWMAV to have numerous applications in the scientific field of aerial research and consumer market.
