Nature has used flapping wing concept repeatedly from very small mosquitoes and insects till very large sized birds like vultures and albatross. There must be some very important advantage of that. Talking of drones, what all options are available for the actuation mechanism considering weight of the actuation mechanism as a critical factor.
For flapping-wing drones, designing propulsion systems by imitating the muscles of birds and insects has great future potential. Different factors can be affected on the performance of actuation mechanisms. I suggest you read the following papers:
Article Methodologies for weight estimation of fixed and flapping wi...

Dear Rashid,
There is first the principle of mechanim flapping wing and its application for miniature aire vehicle desgns, for this question i suggest you to see links and attached files in topic.
