Flying Device with Flapping Wings

The invention relates to a flying device with flapping wings, the device comprising a chassis on which two pivots are pivotally mounted about two parallel articulation axes (X), each of the pivots bearing a wing, the device comprising a first oscillation generator in order to oscillate the pivots so as to cause the wings to flap, said first oscillation generator comprising: two arms (6) each secured to one of the pivots (2); two cranks (9) each articulated to the end of one of the arms about axes (X1) which are parallel to the articulation axes (X) of the pivots; a link rod (10) articulated to the ends of the two cranks about axes (X2) which are parallel to the articulation axes (X) of the pivots; means (4) for synchronizing the rotation of the two pivots such that the pivots have equal and opposite rotations; two electric motors (7) arranged so as to each rotate one of the cranks with respect to the associated arm; and control means for controlling and synchronizing the speed of rotation of the motors and for controlling a phase shift between the motors.
