title = "A foldable flapping wing design inspired by the elbow-wrist anatomy of bats",
abstract = "Bat flapping wings are perfect and feasible for application to high efficiency and maneuverable MAVs (Micro Aerial Vehicle) but have complex biology structure. Although there have been several types of flapping prototypes and kinematic models inspired by bats, they did not dig deep into biology and the low trajectory accuracy and aerodynamic power are the consequences. In order to solve these challenges, a profound investigation of the bat elbow-wrist anatomy is given in this paper and a foldable flapping wing is developed according to these discoveries.",
