Abstract

Abstract This paper designs a bionic aircraft model equipped with multiple degrees of freedom to study the inertial force equation and the aerodynamic interaction between its forewings and hindwings. Each wing’s phase difference angle (PDA) and stroke plane angle (SPA) are independently adjustable. Employing the kinematic equation of a single wing, we establish a model for the inertial force of the four-wing aircraft, validating its accuracy through experimental comparisons. Furthermore, we analyze various combinations of PDA and SPA parameters for the fore- and hindwings to ascertain the most efficient aerodynamic motion modes. Our findings reveal that aerodynamic interference between the fore- and hindwings tends to be unfavorable, predominantly due to the hindwings being exposed to the wake generated by the forewings, hindering their lift-capturing ability. Nevertheless, a specific PDA = 270° (forewing ahead of hindwing 270°) helps mitigate this interference across a wider range of SPA. Interestingly, when the stroke plane aligns parallel to the horizontal direction, asynchronous flapping of the fore- and hindwings, forming a lift mechanism akin to clap-and-fling wings, positively impacts lift. Consequently, staggered flapping of the fore- and hindwings reduces fuselage jitter and alleviates aerodynamic interference through specialized PDA, resulting in a temporary lift enhancement. The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical support for the longitudinal attitude control of four-wing aircraft.
