ABSTRACT

ORNITHOPTER
The subject of flying vehicles propelled by flapping wings also
known as ornithoptershas been an area of interest in recent years.
These gained the importance because of their applications in micro
aerial vehicles (MAVs).
These miniature vehicles seek to mimic small birds and insects
to achieve never before seen agility (Ability to maintain equilibrium)
in flight.
The time of flight of these vehicles is more when compared to
traditional vehicles. These type of vehicles resemble small birds and
insects in micro sizewhich can be very useful to identify peopleget
caught under debris in disaster relief operations.

As they resemble to birds and insects, they can be used for


military applications such as aerial reconnaissance without alerting
the enemies that they are under surveillance.
These can also be used for research on rare species of birds and
insects that are meant to extent in the near future, so as to take
preventive measures.
