This report documents the culmination of in-house and AFIT collaboration in the area of nonlinear structures optimization for flexible flapping wing MAVs. The work was divided into four different tasks, including: Preliminary design of flapping wing device, Couple Abaqus with aerodynamic model, Comparison of experimental and computational results, and Evaluate CSIRF progress for transition to FY09 6.2 program. Technology developed in this task is being transitioned in the VAES program A0GI0A 'MAV Hover Flight Sciences.'.
