    This project presents the comprehensive development and completion of a flapping wing mechanism, encompassing critical aspects including CAD modeling, gearbox design, wing structure design, tail design and overall body fabrication. Our efforts have culminated in the successful realization of a large-scale ornithopter, colloquially termed the flapping wing bird, intended to serve as a platform for the study of flapping wing flight control. On moving forward, our project has successfully performed bench tests including wind tunnel experiments for lift analysis through the load cell, smoke flow visualization and tuft flow analysis to validate the functionality, performance and aerodynamics of the developed flapping wing mechanism. The successful completion of this project marks a significant milestone in the advancement of flapping wing technology, demonstrating its potential for various applications in aerodynamics, bio-mimicry, and unmanned aerial vehicles
