  • Non-Isotropic Fiber Reinforced Elastic Membranes for Micro Aerial Vehicle Wings

    Creator:
    Wilcox, Joshua Robert
    Abstract:
    Micro air vehicles (MAV's) and small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAV) are remotely piloted or autonomous aircraft with a take-off mass range between 50 g and few kilograms. These vehicles, as well as natural fliers such as bats and insects, utilize a variety of elastic wing structures including thin membranes. Over...
