Out-of-plane permalloy magnetic actuators for delta-wing control

Abstract

The goal of this project is to demonstrate that a collection of micro-machined actuators can control a macro object, provided that a proper controlling mechanism exists. In our case, we intend to use a linear array of out-of-plane magnetic actuators to create a rolling moment on a tail-less delta-wing model, utilizing a known mechanism in delta-wing theory that allows micro actuation to have an amplified, macro effect.
