 Weekly report from team A. This semester for the flying robot project, we have decided to make a mannered ornithopter - an aircraft that is propelled by the flapping of its wings..
 Our purpose is to make an ornithopter that starts flying by hand launch, and that can be controlled using a radio transmitter. In short, our goal is to make an ornithopter that “can fly”.
 We would like to equip the aircraft with an articular mechanism on its main wings (something like hinge). It is our belief that these mechanism can enhance the flight performance of an ornithopter.
 However, we think this could fail. If it does, we will use an already proven wing design. If it succeeds, we would like to equip the aircraft with landing gears so it can take off by itself. We will make our schedule considering these scenarios.
Rough design for the plane has been finished, and we will make a more detailed plan, and choose materials by next week.

 羽ばたき機チームの今週の活動内容についての報告です.今学期の飛行ロボットプロジェクトでは羽ばたき機(手動操縦)の作成をすることになり,その活動内容の構想について発表を行いました.
 今期の目標は,ハンドランチで手動操縦可能な機体を作成することです.可能であれば,関節機構(主翼にヒンジのついたもの)を装備すること.そしてさらに可能であれば,脚を装備し,離陸が可能な機体を作成することです.
 難易度の高いプロジェクトであると判断したので主翼は二回作成するつもりです.その過程で機体の改善とデータの収集を行います.
 機体の大まかなパラメータは決定したので,次週に向けて,機体の材料の選定と構造の詳細な設計を行います.
