The present work uses the UVLM to obtain the aerodynamic forces and pressure values for two different wings configuration inspired by the Great blackbacked gull and by the Blue-and-yellow macaw. The influence of the wing movements of flapping, pitching, heaving and spanning and folding on the aerodynamic performance of the wing is analyzed through the lift and thrust/drag coefficients.
