Abstract

Inspired by flying squirrels, we put forward a novel air posture adjustment manner, the wave gliding gait (WGG) model based on flexible menmbrance deformation driven by the high frequency and low amplitude locomotion of limbs. Firstly, we extract the WGG model according to the analysis of the flying squirrel's gliding posture adjustment characteristics. Then, the concept prototype of the WGG model is established and the corresponding gait movement principle is expressed. Moreover, the aerodynamic coefficients of prototype model are gained by the CFD aerodynamics simulation. At last, the experiments are carried out and the results testify the feasibility of WGG method for posture adjustment.
