In this study, a flight dynamics model of a hawkmoth-like flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) is established. The climbing trajectory is designed with energy consumption per unit altitude as the cost function. Finally, the designed 2-dimensional trajectory is converted to the spiral trajectory in 3-dimensional space.
