A simple test for ultra lightweight and robust bionic wing design for MAVs.
Background
The process is very similar to this study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-98242-y
Venation Pattern taken from https://www.bumblebee.org/bodyWing.htm
Use the site as a template on how to cut out the plastic sheet to form the wing membrane
Venation Pattern
Bumblebees are known for their ability to generate a high lift force, enabling them to carry loads that exceed their own body weight. This capability is largely attributed to their small, broad wings, which move in a figure-eight pattern to create vortices and increase lift. This wing motion is highly efficient, allowing for exceptional maneuverability and stability, even when carrying heavy pollen loads.
