ABSTRACT
Mankind borrowed the idea of flight after observing the real birds which flap their wings and sour in to greater heights. Since then it has always been a challenge for humans to imitate the same motion of flapping wings to fly. This has led to research in the development of a hassle-free mechanism for replicating the motion of birds and achieve stable flight.
This paper mainly deals with the kinematic and dynamic analysis of building an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which mimics a bird. A conceptual design is initially introduced, which is then backed up by dimensional analysis of the links. stress analysis of gears, shafts and links; aerodynamic analysis of the profile of the wings and actuator selection. Dynamic torque and power calculation are also done and the simulation results are plotted in MATLAB.
