Flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (FMAV) is an innovative Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that imitates the flapping-wing flight of nature. Due to its high mobility and flexible flight mode, it is considered by many aeronautics experts as a kind of MAV with the most development space in the future. This article can provide some reference for FMAV design.
