Abstract

Ornithopter, in the past, was a vehicle that appeared in science fiction movies and novels. However, due to advances in materials science and human research into aerodynamics, this fantasy is becoming increasingly possible. In this paper, the development history of the ornithopter is briefly described, and the research results of the ornithopter aerodynamics in recent years are reviewed. This includes the first draft of Leonardo Da Vinci's ornithopter design in the Renaissance era, to the modern ornithopter, as well as a summary of the results of the research on the aerodynamics of the ornithopter and prospects for future applications of the ornithopter. In this paper, through the introduction of the flapper and the discussion of the flapper dynamics, a more reasonable application field of the modern flapper and the prospect of the future can be obtained.
