AB  - During the last decades, the ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) received much 
      attention because of its potential capabilities, such as large displacement and 
      flexible bending actuation. In this paper, a biomimetic flapping air vehicle was 
      proposed by combining the superiority of ionic polymer metal composite with the 
      bionic beetle flapping principle. The blocking force was compared between casted 
      IPMC and IPMC. The flapping state of the wing was investigated and the maximum 
      displacement and flapping angle were measured. The flapping displacement under 
      different voltage and frequency was tested. The flapping displacement of the wing 
      and the support reaction force were measured under different frequency by 
      experiments. The experimental results indicate that the high voltage and low 
      frequency would get large flapping displacement.
