Multicriteria optimisation of the kinematics of a flapping wing mini UAV, in cruise flight, has been investigated. The goal of this work is to find, for different families of kinematics and various advance velocities, solutions that simultaneously maximize the propulsive efficiency, minimize the departure of the lift from the weight and minimize the norm of the aerodynamic moment. We used evolutionnary algorithms to solve this multicriteria problem because of their simplicity of implementation, their flexibility and their efficiency in solving these kind of problems. As a consequence of the nature of the problem, there exist multiple solutions to it, which raises the question of finding a way to visualize, analyze and extract a unique solut...
