Flapping Wing Rotorcraft (FWR) combines flapping and rotating wing motion in one element. Such a hybrid design integrates the high-efficiency characteristics of the rotating wing and the high-lift feature of the flapping wing under low Reynolds number, providing a broader range of simultaneous lift and power efficiency optimization. Nevertheless, the flight performance of the current FWRs is limit...
