This paper introduces ORNISP, a validated simulation framework for bird-inspired ornithopters. It integrates a multi-flexible body dynamics solver with a modified unsteady vortex lattice method. The effects of main spar stiffness and mean dihedral angle on longitudinal dynamics and crank driving torque are investigated, providing key insights for the systematic design of the main wing.
