Novel 2 - Single Wing Flapper

This flappers aims to utilize our quadflapper chassis on a bird like configuration.  As noted in the name, the single wing flapper uses one chassis and one pair of wings to produce flight.  Falling under 50 grams (roughly 30 grams right now), this flapper is our one and only micro-air vehicle.

2026-2027 Goals:

  • Improve stability of bird to achieve flight​

  • Improve manufacturing time of bird to allow for quick repairs

  • Test different center of gravity positions

  • Implement full rudder once flapper has flight
