海报摘要

Insects flapping flight has been inspiring generations of scientists to understand its peculiarities and, since recently, to develop maneuverable flying micro vehicles. Full-field modeling and detailed experiments have unveiled key mechanisms of flight dynamics, flow, and noise generation around wings and enabled practical realizations of artificial flying devices. Here, we propose the metamaterial-based design of a flapping wing and an optimization method to control flight characteristics through variations of geometric parameters. The successful experimental validation of 3D-printed samples suggests that our design is promising for additively manufactured flapping-wing-based flying robots.
