Inflatable ultra light glider, has inflatable tubes reinforced by semi-rigid slats and joined for forming flapping wings, where flapping of wing is obtained by elastic deformation of structure of wing

摘要

The glider has flapping wings formed by joining inflatable tubes (1). The inflatable tubes are parallel to each other and reinforced by semi-rigid slats (2), where the slats are made of carbon or glass fiber. The diameter of the tube is 40 cm. The flapping of the wing is obtained by elastic deformation of a structure of the wing. The deformation is opposed by traction exerted on an oscillating lever arm system (3).
