Abstract :
From the very prospective of bionic, the flight performance of a self-designed raised-wing outweighs its straight-wing is verified by utilizing the self-designed catapult and the control variable method in this paper. Based on the status quo that the takeoff process of Micro Flapping-wing Air Vehicle (for short: FMAV) relies mostly on throwing, a Shape Memory Alloy (for short: SMA) actuated hopping mechanism and its germane control system attached appropriately on the FMAV are proposed and complemented, making it-An Autonomously Hopping-off Micro Raised-flapping-wing Air Vehicle (for short: AHRAV) take off and landing independently successfully, which will lessen FMAVs´ human interventions and increase their autonomous properties and enable them more applicable to future´s increasingly complicated conditions.
