In recent years, Ornithopters, or flying vehicles propelled by flapping wings, have garnered significant interest, particularly in the realm of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). These MAVs aim to emulate the agility of small birds and insects, presenting novel challenges in vehicle dynamics and control. This ornithopter, dubbed 'Garuda', is designed with careful consideration for payload capacity, crash survivability, and field repair capabilities. Originating from a need for close-range surveillance in defense operations, the 'Garuda' integrates a microcontroller, sensor package, and live surveillance camera, facilitating real-time intelligence gathering without arousing suspicion. Our ornithopter model prioritizes maximum lift and minimal drag, achieved through meticulous design considerations such as gear reduction, aspect ratio, tail importance, center of mass, and power requirements. Our design process, conducted using SolidWorks, culminated in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in ANSYS Fluent to evaluate lift and drag forces across various angles of attack and flow velocities. This comprehensive approach ensures the 'Garuda' excels in both performance and versatility, serving diverse applications ranging from defense surveillance to scientific exploration.
