As the only flying mammal in nature, bats have superb flight skills and aerodynamic characteristics that have been the subject of research by scholars from all over the world. In recent years, the research on bionic flapping-wing aircraft has made good progress. However, such research mostly uses birds or insects as the research objects, and there are few studies on bat-imitating flapping-wing aircraft. This paper combines the characteristics of bats’ flexible wings to model and analyze the aerodynamic theory and parameters of the flexible wings of bat-like flapping aircraft. The longitudinal dynamic and kinematic model design of bat-like flapping aircraft is based on the pitch angle of LQR. In terms of height control, the controller uses energy control methods to complete the closed-loop longitudinal channel control of the bat-like flapping aircraft. Finally, this study performed the simulation and flight experimentation of the designed bat-like flapping aircraft, demonstrating the correctness of this system.
