Contents. Early history of the ornithopter Some early manned flight attempts may have been intended to achieve flapping-wing flight, though probably only a glide was actually achieved.
These include the purported flights of the 11th-century monk (recorded in the 12th century) and the 9th-century poet (recorded in the 17th century)., writing in 1260, was also among the first to consider a technological means of flight. In 1485, began to study the flight of birds. He grasped that humans are too heavy, and not strong enough, to fly using wings simply attached to the arms.
He therefore sketched a device in which the aviator lies down on a plank and works two large, membranous wings using hand levers, foot pedals, and a system of pulleys. 's ornithopter design In 1841, an ironsmith kalfa Manojlo who 'came to from ' attempted flying with a device described as an ornithopter ('flapping wings like those of a bird'). Refused by the authorities a permit to take off from the belfry of Belgrade, he clandestinely climbed to the rooftop of the Dumrukhana (Import Tax head office) and took off, landing in a heap of snow, and surviving. The first ornithopters capable of flight were constructed in France. Jobert in 1871 used a to power a small model bird., and, also made rubber-powered ornithopters during the 1870s. Tatin's ornithopter was perhaps the first to use active torsion of the wings, and apparently it served as the basis for a commercial toy offered by circa 1889.
Was the first to use internal combustion, and his 1890 model flew a distance of 80 metres in a demonstration for the French Academy of Sciences. The wings were flapped by charges activating a.
From 1884 on, built scores of ornithopters powered by rubber bands, springs,. He introduced the use of small flapping wings providing the thrust for a larger fixed wing; this innovation eliminated the need for gear reduction, thereby simplifying the construction.
Frost's 1902 ornithopter made ornithopters starting in the 1870s; first models were powered by steam engines, then in the 1900s, an internal-combustion craft large enough for a person was built, though it did not fly. In the 1930s, and the NSFK in Germany constructed and successfully flew a series of internal combustion-powered ornithopters, using Hargrave's concept of small flapping wings, but with aerodynamic improvements resulting from methodical study., also working in the 1930s, achieved great efficiency and realism in his work with ornithopters powered by rubber bands. He achieved perhaps the first success of an ornithopter with a bending wing, intended to imitate more closely the folding wing action of birds, although it was not a true variable-span wing like those of birds.
Around 1960, Percival Spencer successfully flew a series of unmanned ornithopters using internal combustion engines ranging from 0.020-to-0.80-cubic-inch (0.33 to 13.11 cm 3) displacement, and having wingspans up to 8 feet (2.4 m). In 1961, Percival Spencer and Jack Stephenson flew the first successful engine-powered, remotely piloted ornithopter, known as the Spencer Orniplane. The Orniplane had a 90.7-inch (2,300 mm) wingspan, weighed 7.5 pounds (3.4 kg), and was powered by a 0.35-cubic-inch (5.7 cm 3)-displacement. It had a biplane configuration, to reduce oscillation of the fuselage. Manned flight. Schmid 1942 Ornithopter Manned ornithopters fall into two general categories: Those powered by the muscular effort of the pilot (human-powered ornithopters), and those powered by an engine.
Around 1894, Otto Lilienthal, an aviation pioneer, became famous in Germany for his widely publicized and successful glider flights. Lilienthal also studied bird flight and conducted some related experiments. He constructed an ornithopter, although its complete development was prevented by his untimely death on the 9th of August 1896 in a glider accident. In 1929, a man-powered ornithopter designed by (designer of the ) flew a distance of 250 to 300 metres after tow launch. Since a tow launch was used, some have questioned whether the aircraft was capable of flying on its own.
Lippisch asserted that the aircraft was actually flying, not making an extended glide. (Precise measurement of altitude and velocity over time would be necessary to resolve this question.) Most of the subsequent human-powered ornithopters likewise used a tow launch, and flights were brief simply because human muscle power diminishes rapidly over time. In 1968, Adalbert Schmid made a much longer flight of a human-powered ornithopter at Munich-Laim. It travelled a distance of 900 metres, maintaining a height of 20 metres throughout most of the flight. Later this same aircraft was fitted with a 3 (2.2 kW) Sachs motorcycle engine. With the engine, it made flights up to 15 minutes in duration.
Schmid later constructed a 10 hp (7.5 kW) ornithopter based on the Grunau-Baby IIa sailplane, which was flown in 1947. The second aircraft had flapping outer wing panels. In 2005, was given the, awarded by the for contributions to the field of aviation. Rousseau attempted his first human-muscle-powered flight with flapping wings in 1995. On 20 April 2006, at his 212th attempt, he succeeded in flying a distance of 64 metres, observed by officials of the Aero Club de France. On his 213th flight attempt, a gust of wind led to a wing breaking up, causing the pilot to be gravely injured and rendered. A team at the, headed by, worked for several years on an engine-powered, piloted ornithopter.
In July 2006, at the Bombardier Airfield at in, Professor DeLaurier's machine, the made a jet-assisted takeoff and 14-second flight. According to DeLaurier, the jet was necessary for sustained flight, but the flapping wings did most of the work. On August 2, 2010, Todd Reichert of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies piloted a human-powered ornithopter named. The 32-metre (105 ft 0 in) wingspan, 42-kilogram (93 lb) aircraft was constructed from, balsa, and foam. The pilot sat in a small cockpit suspended below the wings and pumped a bar with his feet to operate a system of wires that flapped the wings up and down. Towed by a car until airborne, it then sustained flight for almost 20 seconds. It flew 145 metres with an average speed of 25.6 km/h (7.1 m/s).
Similar tow-launched flights were made in the past, but improved data collection verified that the ornithopter was capable of self-powered flight once aloft. Applications for unmanned ornithopters Practical applications capitalize on the resemblance to birds or insects. The Division of Wildlife has used these machines to help save the Gunnison. An artificial under the control of an operator causes the grouse to remain on the ground so they can be captured for study. Because ornithopters can be made to resemble birds or insects, they could be used for military applications such as without alerting the enemies that they are under surveillance.
Several ornithopters have been flown with video cameras on board, some of which can hover and maneuver in small spaces. In 2011, AeroVironment, Inc. Demonstrated a remotely piloted ornithopter resembling a large hummingbird for possible spy missions.
AeroVironment, Inc., then led by developed in the mid-1980s, for the, a half-scale radio-controlled model of the giant,. It was built to star in the IMAX movie On the Wing. The model had a of 5.5 m (18 ft) and featured a complex computerized autopilot control system, just as the full-sized pterosaur relied on its neuromuscular system to make constant adjustments in flight. Researchers hope to eliminate the motors and gears of current designs by more closely imitating animal flight muscles. 's is developing a for use in microscale flapping-wing aircraft.
Michelson uses the term ' for this type of ornithopter. Is developing which may also be used for flapping-wing flight. In 2002, Krister Wolff and of in Sweden, built a flapping-wing robot that learned flight techniques.
The - design was driven by technology known as a steady-state linear. Inspired by natural, the software 'evolves' in response to feedback on how well it performs a given task. Although confined to a laboratory apparatus, their ornithopter evolved behavior for maximum sustained lift force and horizontal movement.
Since 2002, Prof. Theo van Holten has been working on an ornithopter which is constructed like a helicopter. The device is called the and was made by constructing the main rotor so that it would have no reaction torque.
In 2008, started using a realistic-looking mechanical hawk designed by falconer Robert Musters. The radio-controlled robot bird is used to scare away birds that could damage the engines of airplanes. In March 2011, scientists and engineers at the Festo Bionic Learning Network introduced a robotic SmartBird, based on the motion of a seagull. The SmartBird weighs only 450 g and is controlled by a radio handset. On video, its flight appears remarkably realistic.
In 2014, a spin-off of the University of Twente, started making artificial birds of prey (called Robird) for airports and agricultural and waste-management industries. And Alex Caccia founded in 2015, to develop a mechanical analogue of dragonflies to be used as a drone that will outperform quadcopters. The work is funded by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the research arm of the British Ministry of Defence, and the US Air Force. In 2017, researchers of the University of Illinois made an ornithopter that flies like a bat. The device, called Bat Bot (B2) is intended to be used for construction site inspection.
Ornithopters as a hobby. Skyonme Spybird can build and fly their own ornithopters.
These range from light-weight models powered by rubber bands, to larger models with radio control. The rubber-band-powered model can be fairly simple in design and construction. Hobbyists for the longest flight times with these models. An introductory model can be fairly simple in design and construction, but the advanced competition designs are extremely delicate and challenging to build. Roy White holds the United States national record for indoor rubber-powered, with his flight time of 21 minutes, 44 seconds.
Commercial free-flight rubber-band powered ornithopters have long been available. The first of these was sold under the name Tim Bird in Paris in 1879. Later models were also sold as Tim Bird (made by G de Ruymbeke, France, since 1969). Commercial radio-controlled designs stem from Percival Spencer's engine-powered Seagulls, developed circa 1958, and Sean Kinkade's work in the late 1990s to present day.
The wings are usually driven by an electric motor. Many hobbyists enjoy experimenting with their own new wing designs and mechanisms. The opportunity to interact with real birds in their own domain also adds great enjoyment to this hobby. Birds are often curious and will follow or investigate the model while it is flying. In a few cases, RC birds have been attacked by, and even cats.
More recent cheaper models such as the from have extended the market from dedicated hobbyists to the general toy market. Some helpful resources for hobbyists include The Ornithopter Design Manual, book written by Nathan Chronister, and The Ornithopter Zone web site, which includes a large amount of information about building and flying these models. Ornithopters are also of interest as the subject of one of the events in the nationwide event list. The event ('Flying Bird') entails building a self-propelled ornithopter to exacting specifications, with points awarded for high flight time and low weight. Bonus points are also awarded if the ornithopter happens to look like a real bird. Aerodynamics. White, Lynn.

Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Novosibirsk, Russia Received: July 11, 2016; Accepted: October 22, 2016; Published: October 29, 2016 ABSTRACT The article considers the issues on preliminary calculation of human-powered ornithopter general performances. Microsoft office 2013 15 0 4454 10026. The model of “simple ornithopter” is introduced.
Giving an example of simple ornithopter interaction with the environment, the formula of relation of ornithopter theoretically available propulsion to kinematic and physical parameters of its horizontal flight parameters is derived. The tasking is performed for the following stages of calculation and design of the human-powered ornithopter.
Keywords: Human-Powered Ornithopter, Simple Ornithopter, Ornithopter Propulsion, Wing Aerodynamics 1. Introduction The task of engineering and design of flapping flight aircraft has engaged the attention of scientists and engineers.
Anyone may see with one’s own eyes the birds, using that flight principle, can, on the one hand, fly and alight in tough terrains, and on the other hand, they can perform long passages, an in the end, the flight of bird is almost inaudible. Thus, for long time, the mankind has dreamed to fly as the birds, but scientific and practical approach to solution of that task was found just recently. Leonardo da Vinci, in his works, 1, perhaps, was the first who presented a description of some man-po- wered flapping device that, probably could get off the ground by use of that power.
By now, after 300 years, the mankind got quite advanced branch of industry, i.e. The Aviation. Using propeller propulsion force or jet blast, airplanes fly successfully enough within wide range of speeds. However, advancement in ornithopters designing is very modest. Nowadays, there are only two ornithopters that flew manned more or less successfully. The first flight with use of additional engine was performed in 2009 2 by a group form University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies.
The second attempt of the man-powered flight was performed in 2010 by the group of the university above 3. Despite that, in recent times, a lot of works have been published, that are devoted to studying of flapping wing, and no more manned ornithopters were constructed. In authors’ opinion, it is related to the fact that duplication of natural structures in ornithopters is rather complicated task, both as to theoretical model development, and building of real engineering structure. Therefore, this work proposes, on the one hand, to use the ornithopter simple kinematic model, and, on the other hand, to reveal the correlation between general ornithopter kinematic and physical parameters and the propulsion that construction is available to provide.
It will allow the engineers, without conducting of expensive aeronautical and time-consuming full-scale and numerical experiments, to determine the main parameters of future manned ornithopter driven by man-power. The Model of Simple Ornithopter In, the model of simple ornithopter and the forces affecting it are presented. Let the basic axis system is oriented as follows. Y-axis is against gravity direction, X-axis is along the direction of horizontal ornithopter flight. Let’s introduce some simplifications which will permit to reveal the main interaction of the ornithopter with the environment.
1) Let the weight of the ornithopter is located in its center of gravity and the position is steady regarding the hull regardless of the wing position. F g force is directed straight down. It is equivalent to acceptance of the assumption that the wing is weightless. 2) Wing lift is definitionally perpendicular to the wing movement trajectory, which deviates at γ angle during flapping motion. 3) Aerodynamic drag force of the ornithopter F x is applied in the center of gravity and does not depend on position and value of wing lift.
The schem of simple ornihtopter. 4) The angle of wing trajectory to horizontal is γ ˂ 20˚ max. That assumption is necessary for the analysis of simplest motion cases and allows using the following approximations for transformation of wing lift in F ay vertical component and F ay horizontal component. (1) (2) 5) The ornithopter wing is always pre-stall streamlined. Strouhal number St taken by the amplitude of swing (3) where: f-flapping frequency. Formula for Simple Ornithopter Propulsion Now, let’s turn to bidimensional representation of simple ornithopter movement.
In order to fulfill the conditions of straight and level flight, it is necessary that the wing lift onto the vertical axis is to be equal to gravity affecting the ornithopter. However, the analysis of birds filming or video recording shows that body of a bird or the ornithopter has periodic acceleration both in vertical and horizontal planes. Therefore, we will consider the flight of simple ornithopter as the straight one if, at the same moment of the flapping cycle, the ornithopter is at the same height and moves with the same speed. We accept the position, when the wing is at the top dead point, as the initial height.
