Here is the real pic of the IITK flapping wing UAV

Welcome biradar

 

[FalconZero]

The technical term would be Ornithopter am I right

Now that you mentioned it i found this from wiki, archive link, https://web.archive.org/web/20180104054405/https://www.animal-dynamics.com/skeeter-project

>The initial use for Skeeter is as a short-range surveillance platform, for situational awareness - with the ability to operate in high wind conditions and fly longer distances on lower power than existing small UAS. Small UAS are currently in use by the military, and have proven valuable when weather conditions allow. Skeeter is designed to extend the capability of small UAS, resulting in a vehicle that can operate in a greater range of conditions.

>Flapping wing propulsion has been chosen, as it enables gliding, is quiet, and is highly efficient. Unlike a vertical rotor, wings have symmetrical drag characteristics, and inbuilt suspension, which make them particularly good at tolerating turbulent air.

This is a UAS (unmanned aerial system) being developed by UK, project name is Skeeter, they have similar project for under water 'drone'.

These seem to be faster, more energy efficient, better at hiding i guess.

Actually this is the first time when such a micro UAV was designed. This ornithopter can incorporate a similar electronics suite like the black hornet, but it is more agile than the Black Hornet actually, also a little bit more stealthy when you consider the noise generated from them.

It looks more like those mini dragon fly drones. What exactly advantages these bring anyway? You can create smaller drones based on the traditional design.

We have drones like these,

Smaller, seem more balanced and apply some reflective panels on the body that they just reflect few percentages of the light passed on them and you have got the perfect camo considering its size.

Unless there's some advantage related to power usage these don't make sense.

 

[BrigadierRPS]

Exactly. We are following the same path here. But the problem is our electronics industry is not mature enough to provide the miniaturised electronics for the MAV

Can you share some thing about DRDO morphing Wing project.

 

[BrigadierRPS]

I only have the design of a span morphing wing intended for the Panchi UAV.

Can you share some thing about DRDO morphing Wing project.

 

[BrigadierRPS]

Also, currently a new kind of planform altering morphing wing is being researched on, intended to be used in future UCAVs, but the fatigue life is low.

Any info about alpha s
Is it still stuck at seeker problem?

 

[BrigadierRPS]

Compound seekers are always a tech challenge. It will take time. Otherwise the IIR and RF seekers are ready, will be used accordingly.

Development of a New Span-Morphing Wing Core Design

This paper presents a new design for the core of a span-morphing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wing that increases the spanwise length of the wing by fifty percent. The purpose of morphing the wingspan is to increase lift and fuel efficiency during extension, to increase maneuverability during...

Professor RK Panth in IIT Bombay ordered his team to copy this design . Our work was in 2019, now it has evolved. See the quoted pic I posted .

Your work afaik is CFD for combustion
"Ye kis line pr aa gaye aapp"

 

[BrigadierRPS]

Jonab CFD to yaha bhi lagta hai...

Today is Hypermesh+ANSYS divas, nice.
