Four types of MAVs are considered: 1) fixed-wing, 2) rotarywing, 3) ornithopters (bird-like flapping) and 4) entomopters (insect-like flapping). In particular, advantages of a propeller-driven delta wing configuration for type 1 are discussed. Some detail is also given for type 4, the least understood of the four, including a new concept of manoeuvre control for such MAVs. The paper concludes with a brief prognostic of the future of each MAV type.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Some problems of micro air vehicles development}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/111183/PDF-MASTER/(55-1)91.pdf}, keywords={micro air vehicles, fixed-wing, rotary wing, ornithopter, entomopter}, }
