N2 - In this work, a combined geometric-control-averaging approach is proposed to formulate performance optimization problems of flapping-wing micro-air-vehicles (FWMAVs) accounting for its flight dynamics. Moreover, in such a framework, the two major simplifying assumptions (neglecting the wing inertial effects and averaging the dynamics over the flapping cycle) usually adopted in the analysis of flapping flight dynamics are relaxed. The formulated problem is to balance/trim FWMAVs at hover with minimum actuating torque amplitudes.
