Title:
WING-FLAPPING FLYING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/026701
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A wing-flapping flying apparatus comprising a body part (11) in which a rotatingly
driven crank member (19) is disposed, a backbone member (40) installed just above
the axis of the body part (11), right and left wing front side support members (24,
25) connected to the front end part of the backbone member (40) so that their inner
end parts can be rotated, right and left side wing bodies (12, 13) having wing sheets
(30) stretched between the right and left wing front side support members (24,
25) and the backbone member (40) and bendable at the center part thereof, swing
support members (41, 42) swingably fitted to the body part (11) and supporting
the intermediate parts of the wing front support members (24, 25), and a crank
rod (22) having an upper end part fixed to the front end part of the backbone member
(40) at a predetermined angle and a lower end part connected to the crank member
(19). The crank rod (22) is lifted by rotatingly driving the crank member (19)
to simultaneously provide both a flapping motion to vertically move the wing
bodies (12, 13) and a feathering motion to provide a torsional operation to the
wing bodies (12, 13) to the flying apparatus.
