Ornithopters are the miniature flapping wing
aircrafts that imitate the bird flight. The major source of
lift and thrust generation in these aircrafts is the to and
fro motion of wings. In order to understand a complete
dynamics of an ornithopter, one must possess the
knowledge of the kinematics of flapping wing. In this
study a model is generated in SolidWorks for analysing
the kinematics of flapping wing of the ornithopters.
These analyses are presented on a costumed designed
Ornithopter. The kinematic analysis of SolidWorks is
then verified through analytical model developed in the
past using the Euler angle transformations and vector
kinematics. A good agreement between the two results is
obtained.
