Bionic Bumblebee Wing for MAVs

thingiverse

A simple test for ultra lightweight and robust bionic wing design for MAVs.BackgroundThe process is very similar to this study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-98242-yVenation Pattern taken from https://www.bumblebee.org/bodyWing.htmUse the site as a template on how to cut out the plastic sheet to form the wing membraneVenation PatternBumblebees are known for their ability to generate a high lift force, enabling them to carry loads that exceed their own body weight. This capability is largely attributed to their small, broad wings, which move in a figure-eight pattern to create vortices and increase lift. This wing motion is highly efficient, allowing for exceptional maneuverability and stability, even when carrying heavy pollen loads.Other DesignsCheck out my other bionic designs, you might find a thing you like.Bionic Hawkmoth Wings for high agility applicationsBionic Locust Wings for long range applicationsBionic Chiton Scale Armor for highly flexible and leightweight protectionUpdate 02.01.2024: Added hind wing venationprovided link to venation template
