About this document
Manned Ornithopter Flight Overview by Nikhil Metrewar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) An ornithopter is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings in imitation of birds. This project aims to achieve manned flight using mechanical flapping wings. 2) The objectives are to understand aerodynamic aspects of ornithopters like lift, thrust, drag and complete the ancient quest of achieving manned ornithopter flight. 3) Ornithopters were studied since Leonardo da Vinci. Recent research at universities aimed to understand unsteady aerodynamics of flapping flight and develop mechanisms for thr
