Title: Prototyping of Integrated Flapping Wings using Advanced Composites

Concept: Dragonfly

Features Of Dragonfly:

• Have four wings that can move independently.
• Can hover, fly backward and roll with ease
• Wings has a high strength-to-weight ratio
• Flaps @ 35Hz: Allows in-flight feeding
• Accelerate to 0-60 mph in 1 s (still & mid-air position)
• External skeletons are formed by sun dried flesh & Blood.
• Effort have been made by DOD to understand its behavior

Focus: Development of Ultra light Weight Material Through Electrospinning.
