Abstract
Possibility of human-powered ornithopter has been studied. As the first step, the optimum flapping motion, which attains the highest propulsive efficiency, has been determined using an unsteady lifting-surface theory. The performance of the flapping motion thus determined has also been examined using a Navier-Stokes code and a scale model, elucidating the problems to be solved for realizing the human-powered ornithoper.
