circuits should be designed as per specifications and realize the same. Integrate all

the components of MAV and test the performance of the system as per specifications.

Insect wings consist of flexible membranes using chitinous fibrous material and

being supported by semielastic veins (see Chap. 4). According to XQ Bao et al. (2011,

Micromech Microeng 21, 125050) natural wings can will be mimicked in material

conception, weight, venation size, mass distribution and wings rigidity using hybrid

material for bio-mimicking MAVs.
