Abstrakt:	Bird-like flapping-wing aerial vehicles (BFAVs) have attracted significant attention due to their advantages in endurance, range, and load capacity. For a long time, biologists have been studying the enigma of bird flight to understand its mechanism. In contrast, aviation designers focus more on bionic flight systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the development of BFAV design. The study aims to provide insights into building a flyable model from the perspective of aviation designers, focusing on the methods in the process of overall design, flapping wing design and drive system design. The review examines the annual progress of flight-capable BFAVs, analyzing changes in prototype size and performance over the years. Additionally, the paper highlights various applications of these vehicles. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges encountered in BFAV design and proposes several possible directions for future research, including perfecting design methods, improving component performance, and promoting practical application. This review will provide essential guidelines and insights for designing BFAVs with higher performance. (© 2024 IOP Publishing Ltd.
