Simplified Quasi-Steady Aeromechanic Model for Flapping-Wing Robots with Passively Rotating Hinges

At millimeter and centimeter scales, flapping-wing robots often employ flexural passive wing hinges to eliminate extra actuation and mechanical complexity. In this paper, we propose a modified quasi-steady model for predicting aerodynamic forces from a flapping wing with a passively rotating hinge.…
