Wang, Q. (author), Goosen, J.F.L. (author), Van Keulen, F. (author)As one of the most important components of a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV), the design of an energy-efficient flapping-wing has been a research interest recently. Research on insect flight from different perspectives has been carried out, mainly with regard to wing morphology, flapping kinematics, and unsteady aerodynamics. However,...conference paper 2014

Wang, Y. (author), Chen, W. (author), Wang, H. (author), Li, R. (author)In this paper, a steady 3D numerical study has been conducted on a 90 mm counter rotating lift fan to investigate its aerodynamic performance. The effect of axial distance between the fans and rotor speed are studied. A low thrust generation has been revealed from the simulation results due to the unfavourable working condition for the upstream...conference paper 2014

Li, K. (author), Huang, R. (author), Phang, S.K. (author), Lai, S. (author), Wang, F. (author), Tan, P. (author), Chen, B.M. (author), Lee, T.H. (author)In this paper, we propose an approach to autonomously control a quadrotor micro aerial vehicle (MAV). With take-off weight of 50 g and 8-min flight endurance, the MAV platform codenamed KayLion developed by the National University of Singapore (NUS) is able to perform autonomous flight with pre-planned path tracking. The vision-based...conference paper 2014
