| Abstract | Ornithopter is aircraft flies by flapping its wings which provides to more advantages compared to both fixed wing flight and rotary wing aircrafts. This project concerns about how to design and control an Ornithopter. Firstly a mechanical system is design, developed and implemented. Secondly, all the circuits are designed and build for interfacing between system and microcontroller as well as PC without using gyroscope sensors and test flights with remote controller. Thirdly, implement AVCS/Micro electro-mechanical gyroscope to drive analog servos to balance the Ornithopter. Then finally test with improvements in Arduino programming language, to accomplish smoother lift and landing. |
