Nowadays, when designing a bird-like flapping wing robot, single-section or two-foldable-section wing type is normally adopted to mimic the flexible wing, which is hard to simulate a real bird's flapping fly or gain well aerodynamic performance. In present work, a new flexible flapping wing vehicle, of which the flexibility of the wing is more authentic, is designed firstly, then the kinematic model is established and the kinematics analysis of the vehicle is carried out. Moreover aerodynamics is estimated using the strip theory, the wing's lift and thrust are calculated, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the new flexible wing and that of a two-foldable-section wing are compared.
