Table 8: Comparison of the average Lift and Thrust of rigid and flexible ornithopter wing using heuristic model contributed by pitching and flapping motion.
Flapping only | Pitching only | |||
Rigid wing | Flexible wing (5%) | Rigid wing | Flexible wing (5%) | |
Average Lift (N) | -0.1864 | -0.2065 | 0.0161 | 0.0169 |
Average Thrust (N) | 0.3123 | 0.3435 | -0.0518 | -0.0562 |
