The invention relates to a flapping-wing flying vehicle, the vehicle including a frame having two pivots mounted thereon to pivot about two parallel hinge axes (X), each pivot carrying a respective wing, the vehicle including a first oscillation generator for causing the pivots to oscillate in order
The invention relates to a flapping-wing flying vehicle, the vehicle including a frame having two pivots mounted thereon to pivot about two parallel hinge axes (X), each pivot carrying a respective wing, the vehicle including a first oscillation generator for causing the pivots to oscillate in order to cause the wings to flap, said first oscillation generator comprising: two arms (6), each secured to a respective pivot (2); two cranks (9), each hinged to the end of a respective one of the arms about respective axes (X1) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots; a connecting rod (10) hinged to the ends of the two cranks about axes (X2) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots; synchronization means (4) for synchronizing the rotation of the two pivots such that the rotations of the pivots are equal and opposite; two electric motors (7), each placed to cause one of the cranks to rotate relative to the associated arm; and control means (50) for controlling and synchronizing the speeds of rotation of the motors and for controlling the phase difference between the motors.

1. A flapping-wing flying vehicle, the vehicle including a frame having two pivots mounted thereon to pivot about two parallel hinge axes (X), each pivot carrying a respective wing, the vehicle including a first oscillation generator for causing the pivots to oscillate in order to cause the wings to flap, wherein said first oscillation generator comprises: two arms (6), each secured to a respective pivot (2);two cranks (9), each hinged to the end of a respective one of the arms about respective axes (X1) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots;a connecting rod (10) hinged to the ends of the two cranks about axes (X2) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots;synchronization means (4) for synchronizing the rotation of the two pivots such that the rotations of the pivots are equal and opposite;two electric motors (7), each placed to cause one of the cranks to rotate relative to the associated arm; andcontrol means (50) for controlling and synchronizing the speeds of rotation of the motors and for controlling the phase difference between the motors. 2. A flying vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the synchronization means comprise a crossed belt (4) tensioned between the pivots (2). 3. A flying vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the motors are carried at the ends of the arms (6), each crank (9) being secured a rotary end (8) of the corresponding motor. 4. A flying vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the pivots (2) receive pivoting supports (5) that are mounted on the pivots to turn about axes (Y) perpendicular to the hinge axes (X), the wings being connected directly to the pivoting supports, the flying vehicle including a second oscillation generator (11, 12, 13) for causing the pivoting supports to oscillate in order to cause the angles of incidence of the wings to oscillate, said second oscillation generator comprising: two drive shafts (13) mounted to turn about the hinge axes of the pivots and connected to rotate with the pivoting supports via respective angle take-offs (11, 12);two arms (26), each secured to a respective one of the drive shafts;two cranks (29), each hinged to the end of a respective one of the arms about respective axes (X11) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots;a connecting rod (30) hinged to the ends of the two cranks about axes (X22) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots;synchronization means (24) for synchronizing the rotation of the two drive arms such that the rotations of the drive arms are equal and opposite;two electric motors (27), each placed to control rotation of a respective one of the cranks relative to the associated arm; andcontrol means (50) for controlling and synchronizing the speeds of rotation of the electric motors (27) and for controlling a phase difference between the electric motors (27). 5. A flying vehicle according to claim 4, wherein the synchronization means comprise a crossed belt (24) tensioned between the drive shafts (13). 6. A flying vehicle according to claim 4, wherein the electric motors (27) of the second oscillation generator are carried at the ends of the arms (26), each crank (29) being secured to a rotary end (28) of the corresponding motor.
